[s-cars] WG Spring Questions...

[Brian Armstead]

Guys,

I need a single threaded rod that the holds the wastegate cap in place
(there are six or so, I just need one.  It's treaded on both ends and
the wastegate cap nuts attach to it).  I scratched one with locking
pliers (don't ask, just recognize my name is Brian and not Igor) and now
that I am the Prince of Boost, I don't want anything funny going down
inside my cap.

Thanks,

Brian
