Default Header studs

I am looking to find some replacement studs for the collector flange on shorty headers. I cannot seem to find them anywhere and all the parts stores I ask aren't able to help me out.
Does anyone know where I could find a set? Also would anyone know if the stock headers use the same hardware as the Ford Racing headers intended for the GT40p head swap? Thanks

I didn't think they should be but apparently I was wrong. I have checked all the mustang specific sites I know and I checked the local stores as well. There is a nut and bolt shop with a big selection but I don't know the size to tell them.

I think they are 7/16 - 13. Rare size and that's why you are having a hard time finding them.

You can just use a smaller 3/8's bolt and use a nut.

hrm, ok, if your looking for the stud for the header and not the head itself, then I would ether pull another out, and measure, or call the header manufacture and ask them.

sorry I zipped over the question.

I was trying to avoid pulling the stud because my car is inaccessible storage for another little while. I am trying to gather me parts so I have most everything ready to go.
I have not thought to call the exhaust shops around which I managed to over look for some reason so I will try that next thanks.

I have an unrelated question. Does anyone know if this http://www.summitracing.com/parts/WMR-W151P/ puller will work for the balancer on this car?
