getting a new manifold that exhausts out the side and want to get it powder coated and was wondering what the OE nuts were made of, saw a tractor with brass/bronze nuts that looked really perty or should i just use regular metal or stainless steel?

I found a bag with original bronze/brass? off a B-125 P/U if needed, I think they are slightly stouter than new ones, have to check.

I wouldn't waste the money on powder coating a manifold, or anything else for that matter. I have used and can endorse this manifold paint . I bought a pint and have brush coated at least 4 manifolds and still have enough product to do several more. I used the cast iron grey , but other colors are available.

You want bronze, brass will not hold torque on the ones that get hot.

2 votes for bronze, most powdercoatings won't take that much heat for long.
If you feel the need for hi-tech go with a ceramic coating made for exhaust systems.
