locking washers for header bolts?
I have the hooker 2055 header with the stock bolts, but the bolts keep loosening up on me, can i order just the locking washers or whatever I'd need to keep them nice and tight? I'm guessing a hardware store would sell what i need but can you give me some advice?

Re: locking washers for header bolts?
Well, I think I'd rather go with the stage 8 bolts, but all i really need is the locking washers...maybe I'll have to buy the whole set since they might not be sold seperately

You need the whole set. Stage 8's are a locking assembly, the pieces can't be used independently.
