ARP 3/8″ x 1.000″ Stainless Steel 12-Point Header Bolt Kit
The ARP 400-1210 3/8″ x 1.000″ Stainless Steel 12-Point Header Bolt Kit is the premium choice for securely mounting exhaust headers on Ford, GM, Chrysler, and other V8 engines. Manufactured from high-strength stainless steel with a polished finish, these bolts offer superior corrosion resistance in harsh under-hood environments while providing the clamping force needed to prevent leaks and maintain gasket integrity under high heat and vibration. The 12-point head design allows for better wrench access in tight header locations, making installation and removal far easier than conventional hex bolts.
