Excellent! The drivers side one hasn't got any studs on mine, & it keeps blowing! Also, where do I get replacesment gaskets for it?

If Rimmers' don't have them maybe Wins & Co. I only have the pipes!

Sorted, Rimmer's have them(even though the tiny little copper olives/gaskets are £2 each!).....
Now, all I need to do is get this manifold!
Are they easy to take off? I'm a tad worried about snapping the studs when I undo them....

I have never done them before but when I was at the other end of the car putting on the new tailpipe I used a spray called Plus Gas (or something like that) as I found it better than WD40 when undoing the bolts on the brackets. I would imagine the heat and possibly corrosion would make it a pig of a job as they may seem to be glued on?

And of course you have to play careful as you don't want the bolts to shear and remain in the block.

So how much would you want for the drivers side manifold? & where are you?

Hi chris

I am around the Leeds/bradford area PM me for more details - as the manifold is off the TP Vitesse it won't be much (it is still in good order though, but I will check tonight)
