Exhaust bolt

I discovered a missing spring and nut on my exhaust today while doing an oil change. Since I bought this and didn't build it, I am having trouble finding a replacement. I don't know the exhaust manufacturer. Anyone recognize these?

Thanks,

Ron Kirkland

AN363-1032 nut, AN960-3 washer. Remove the other spring and match it as close as possible at hardware store.
Your hoses are too close to the exhaust. Get someone to help you reposition the hose.

Thank you very much!
 
That looks like the Sky Dynamics 4-into-1 exhaust that my previous RV-8 has. Sky Dynamics can supply you with the bolt, spring, washer, and nut as an assembly. Buy some extras, as I had to replace a few of those when I owned the airplane. Inspect and/or replace those regularly, as the bolt would be worn by the bracket and fatigue and break off just above the nut, with the loss of the nut and spring. It only seemed to happen to the ones at the 4-into-1 exhaust collector.

Excellent news, thanks. I could not figure out the maker of the exhaust. The original builder passed away so it has been a challenge figuring some things out.
