To solve my problem with a blowing manifold, a hole in the flange, (Ref: A
New Noise: Fluttering: Exhaust) I took my welder to it last night, that
solved it. I don't think I'll be needing my studs anymore :-)

This may not be quite the solution you were after.

How easy-hard is it to chainge the three manifold studs on the UK1500
manifold.  Mine are so badly rusted there is hardly any thread left, hense
the nuts come off, and the manifold keeps on blowing.

Anyone managed to chainge these, and how do you lock them in there, I
presume locktight studlock will burn off.

Can you use normal ones, or am I going to have to order them from a
specialist.


Thanks
