Longer exhaust bolts for wastegate?

[Fairlady280z]

Hey, im having a really annoying problem of my wastegate coming loose and dangling and leaking exhaust all over the place because the 8mm x 1.25 allen head bolts it came with that bolt it to the manifold keep coming loose from vibrations and are also too short to fit a nut at the end.

This is what they look like

Anyone know anywhere that sells the same bolt but long enough to fit a nut at the end to keep them from coming loose? I searched everywhere online and they are all the same length...thanks!

ahhh, i did a quick google search so its like a super glue you put in the threads? well...i kind striped the thread inside the manifold flange from trying to tighten down one of the damn bolts after the 4th or so time the WG came loose you think itll still work?

That and some of the high temp, high lock loctite and that will never come loose on it's own.

even lowes and home depot sell quite a lot of bolts. And all parts stores have bolt packs you can buy.

idk about lowes but home depot is a waste of time, especially for metric hardware, the selection sucks and everything is a fucking mess
