The headers that we are using were take offs from the J10. They are Edelbrock shorties that are no longer available. The finish was weathered and also we were concerned of heat transfer to the Line-Ex covered firewall. So Jeffrey did some research and concluded with Jet Hot Coatings for a heat reducing chrome like finish. The headers were packaged and sent and were returned a few weeks later looking great. Quality is impeccable. Their claim is that the coating reduces heat by 65% and has a life time warranty, plus the polished coating looks so damn good. We figured that these should be installed before the fenders came back from the paint shop. Installation went well using studs and Nord-Lock Washers on all but one location where a bolt was used to allow installation to clear

the steering shaft. The Nord- locks were still used with the bolt. These lock washers have wedge shaped serration on both sides and are used in pairs. We had these installed during mock up and never came loose. Now that these are installed we can move on to the fenders.
