I asked for this on page 2 of this thread. Here's the answer of Sacha. The nuts and springswashers should be included, aren't they?

the problem was the studs. they werent metric. i think he swapped the studs. he also fixed the 3rd bolt sitting on the runner problem. hes constantly revising which is good.

lads...
i havnt been able to get online for a better part of a week..i've been hammered by the flu and ko'd for a few days. only recovering now. there was a delay with production mid week..one of our sponsored cars had to come in to have some last minute work done before a race this weekend... i am so sorry guys...i just couldnt say no because this guy had to race this weekend and it was a vehicle sponsored by us. add to that the flu has me in bed for the better part of this week..so i couldnt get online to even update.

we start production back on monday lads...and i promise that we will be banging these out at a furious pace from now on...i am very sorry guys.. i know ya'll been waiting forever.

if anyone wants to join the second group buy..go for it because as soon as i finish this one ...i move prouduction into that lot. so it wont take very long.

Hey man I am on the second group buy and I know everyone wants theirs delivered asap (me too) but I would rather you take a little extra time and make sure quality is paramount, not speed!

Although everyone gets impatient I am sure you all agree that it would be more hassle to get it quick and have to remove it because it was rushed and has cracked. personally I would happily wait a bit longer for one that has been made with quality first and foremost in Sacha's mind, not speed due to a bunch of demanding GTT owners from across the world!

Not that I am questioning Sacha's workmanship you understand!

I actually cannot wait to get this sorted :)

Will I need to have the mating faces machined flat, or are they spot on from you?

yay SHIPPED! can't wait for this :)

so do we use the old stock nuts? or are new ones shipped with it?

old stuck nuts i think, which is kind of a letdown as it was stated that new ones would be included.
Sasha could you confirm this? and the reason why??

would the possibly be another group buy in the new year? ide be interested if so.

also a question, may have been covered i didnt check, is a big thread lol, if i wanted to heat wrap it, would it be ok over the paint? because obviously the paint doesnt last long and i wouldnt want loads of shit chipped paint sitting under the heatwrap???

great to hear!

but do you have any info about the nuts and washers? the question popped up a few times.
in the thread it was posted new nuts would be supplied, but now we should re use the old nuts?

Still not got mine yet but I definately do not want to use my old nuts and washers when it was said that new ones would be provided, we have waited a good while for these and not to get new nuts etc.. in my opinion isn't great. Could you please tell us why new nuts are mot being provided ?

Because they aren't needed?

Got mine through yesterday, looks mint :)

Gonna be fitted soon :)

Well it shouldnt have been said new nuts etc.. would be included.. :-\

Im just annoyed thats its taken over 3months and still not got this.. hopefully its worth the wait.

guys..
i've answered this Q a few times over this course of this thread. at first the studs on the manifold we were using did not have the stock thread pattern..so we were providing the nuts with the manifolds. the new batches DO NOT need new nuts because the thread pattern on the studs are same as stock..so you have you re-use the stock nuts. so when you guys get your your manifolds..just use your existing stock nuts. i hope this clears any confusion!
