Title: best place for exhaust manifold to downpipe studs and nuts??
Post by: hayesey on September 30, 2008, 09:15:06 PM
as topic really, wheres the best place to buy exhaust manifold to downpipe studs and nuts?  I've lost one of mine and the others look pretty knackered.  VW best bet or do motor factors/halfrauds stock this kind of shit?

Pete was on about getting some threaded bar from his bolt merchant for the studs cos they are well expensive from VW.
