refitting baffle

I drilled the rivet out to remove the baffle but now want it back in. The noise is becoming a pain now.

What size bolt do I need to refit? assuming I can just use a shallow bolt and nut? Or should I wait until I'm at the in laws for him to rivet it in?

Strange I was thinking of this last night, I want to take mine out and would like to be able to put it back at some point.

PS. I hope you also used a spring washer or thread lock, as the vibrations from the exhaust will rattle the nut and bolt loose...

- it's not nice having a baffle down the exhaust!

Happy fishing if it does!

Re: refitting baffle

I take it the general idea most people have is to remove the baffle?
I have a scorpion street extreme and tried it without the baffle and couldnt decide if it was too loud or not (as in loud enough to draw attention from police)

Re: refitting baffle

Have you tried putting a nut and bolt in that fill the hole?

If you have a 6mm hole, fit an m6 bolt. An 8mm hole, an m8. You should use a spring washer too as has been mentioned. .
