Husqvarna 357xp question

[Redthunder]

Hi all I'm new on here. :blushing i wanted to ask if anyone would know what size muffler Allan bolt I need for the 357xp it seems to have lost one when cutting firewood the other day it's not the first time something has fallen off. Last month a bar nut fell off I've got a stihl and nothing falls off that??? I've looked on ebay the only ones I can find are over the pond in the USA. If someone knows what size bolt and thread it takes I could get one from the hardware store. I love using the stihl but the husky wins hands down for cutting. Any info would be great thanks chris.

Which one is it

Poss put a pic up

I probably have 1 I could send you or just order a new one as only a couple of squid

The two main ones are M6 allens, the rest are M5 allens, the M6 will be 1mm thread, the M5 will be 0.8mm!

The Stihl guys think so:001_rolleyes: I haven't had anything fall off mine but if an owner says they have trouble with loose bolts, I use a bit of thread lock to retain them!

 

Typically the exhaust bolts are usually damn tight!
