2. I need to know the distance the oval that the bolt goes through is from the outer edge of the exhaust system.


The design rendered above is it...save for adjusting the bolt hole size and making sure that the bolts are positioned so the tip can be snugged up to the exhaust system. None of the adjustments I need to make will affect the look of the tip.

So I posted them a while ago and no one responded, other than to ask when they would be finished...so I'm not sure what's wrong. The conditions everyone set have been met. The tips slide over and conceal the whole exhaust section just like the original tubes do, and these variants completely conceal the attaching bolts from the outside.

What's wrong? What did I miss?

Thanks! Working with actual forum members to develop something they want isn't usually done, and I really hope this turns into a success story.
Fringe,

Sorry for not seeing this response earlier! I am at work at the moment, but after I get home, I will remove one of my exhaust tips and make some measurements. I'll also measure the Exhaust Tip Bolt Hole diameter exactly for you.

As per your first question, the nut for the tips are a 10mm wrench nut, and the bolt itself is a smooth rounded ----
**EDIT** It isn't a T-20 Torx bolt - turns out I lost the right sized torx wrench. I'm unsure what it is, but it probably doesnt matter in this application.

I really hope this becomes a reality! I can't wait to get the measurements, haha.
