ive got a 2nd hand old sps ceramic coated mani, one of the studs is shagged, managed to get the stud out, and its different at the top than the bottom, no idea where to get one, went to an engineering place and he said he'd need about a ton for it! due to setting up a machine for two hours, he said it obviously wernt really worth it, well now im kinda stuck. any help would be apppreecciiaaatteeddpics of shagged stud:

probably a metric fine one end and then a normal coarse thread the other. probably have one at work if you knew the size?

you can buy them off the shelf. is the thread in the manifold screwed as well?

really? ive no proper measuring equipment at home really other than a tape measure, but i could measure it best as possible if you can let me know what to measure if that make sence. the manifold end is fine i believe, when i took it out was the first time it had been touched, used a stud extracter, its got a tiny bit of wear on it, but i think it'd work.

if it comes to it, if you think you'd have one at work ide quite happily post you the dodgy stud mate

drill out the mani and pop a bolt through

thats a pretty simple solution, i really didnt think of that, worse case scenario ile do that, only thing is the stud quite big manifold end, so itd need a big bolt to fill it, and its quite close to the collector, but im sure i could make it work, repped mate

if you want a nice job if i was you but hack saw the head off a bolt drill out the old stud or drill it bigger for the bolt and have it welded on the over side so its like a stud then nut it on buddy i did this for a mate sweet as a nut

its not td04,and a bolt wont fit in there because the collecter come over the hole really close topside, ude never get a big enough bolt in the on an angle

yea i may do, the way he explained it was that it mainly takes to time to get it all set up and shit, to be fair though this place builds like aircraft pieces and high spec, probs not the right kinda place
