Glad you got that fixed easily. I've been using studs on SBC headers for a long time due to situations like this. Have them on the TA, too. I've found them to be a great solution for tight fits or when the bolt doubled as a mount for accessories. You don't need to crank on the studs though. Just spin then in by hand til they bottom. Once you torque the nut, the tension created will keep everything from loosening.
