Air Cleaner Stud Aluminum 5/16-18 x 6

The Air Cleaner Stud Aluminum 5/16-18 x 6 from ALLSTAR PERFORMANCE is a precision fastening component designed for engine dress-up and air cleaner assembly applications in high-performance automotive builds. This aluminum stud serves as a critical mounting point where appearance and functionality meet, securing air cleaner housings and related components with reliable thread engagement. Racers, hot rod builders, and engine enthusiasts rely on purpose-built studs like this to achieve professional-grade assembly while maintaining the clean aesthetic that defines modern custom powerplants.

Constructed from aluminum, this air cleaner stud delivers a weight advantage over steel alternatives without sacrificing clamping integrity—a critical benefit in competition engines where every pound matters. The 5/16-18 thread specification provides industry-standard compatibility with common air cleaner bases and carburetors, while the 6-inch length accommodates both shallow and moderately deep mounting configurations. The natural aluminum finish integrates seamlessly into engine bays and allows for anodizing or polishing to match custom color schemes, giving builders flexibility in their final presentation.

This stud excels in Chevrolet small-block and big-block applications, Mopar platforms, and Ford engine builds where air cleaner aesthetics are part of the overall engine dress-up strategy. Installation is straightforward: thread the stud into the prepared hole or existing insert, and tighten your air cleaner assembly with a corresponding nut and washer. The 0.12 lb weight makes it practical for lightweight builds, and the compact profile ensures no interference with hoses, belts, or other engine compartment components. Whether you're building a street cruiser or a show-quality engine, this ALLSTAR PERFORMANCE stud delivers the precision hardware serious builders demand.
