Cheers

M8 for exhaust

Inlet is m6 iirc?

Can get them from a stealer... Or just buy a length of studding and cut your own

when i.had my saxo i brought some threaded meatl and made my own stud and bolt conversion. it worked a treat with a 4-1 mani

Get them from Citroen

use the stainless bolts from swampy or halfords for mani makes fitting mani soooooooo much quicker and easier than the bolt n studs

There's a reason you use studs over bolts

1) it's easier to locate the mani onto the studs and get them all in

2) using a stud pulls something against the fixed point, mani to head.. Not the other way round, helps to seal better

3) and most importantly, the head is aluminium.. You don't want to be trying to pull the Mani against the head via soft threads... As you'll risk pulling the threads out of the The head
