    Longer Brass Nuts for sidpipe mounting (?)

    I'd like to replace my existing 3/8" Brass Nuts next time I remove the sidepipes.
    I've had the longer nuts and prefer them, but can't remember where I purchased them from. I've seen the shorter Dorman nuts, but can't find the longer ones now.

    Can anyone tell me where they got them from?

    Thanks!

    Thanks, but I was looking for the longer brass nuts (Coupling nuts?), like 1 3/4". Searched Amazon, but can't find them there.
    I don't remember where I got them.

    The dorman 680-104 are what I've used for years and are about 1" long. Never seen anything inn brass that's 1 3/4".

    Why do you want them so long?

    Let me double-check the length, I was going by memory, so maybe they aren't that long.
