Sprint manifold+downpipe removal

[tarynus]

First you need a new downpipe......

Think we have a decent one if you would like to buy it.

Jeroen may have one that is cheaper to ship though. Postage from the UK may be dear.

You need to use studs (copper plated if possible) and brass nuts with a plain and spring washer on the flange joint and not bolts.

The manifold never looks that good. You can try some high temperature paint. I leave mine natural.

Finally got my thread repair kit! should be all done soon, i wanted to check,
do I want to fit nuts on both side of the studs? or just on the downpipe side?

Screw the studs into the manifold. Dont do them too tight but let them go to the end of the thread.
Use a brass nut plane and spring washer on each stud.

I still use a bolt on the bottom one so the downpipe will still slide clear.
