Hi List,

Iv'e had ARP stainless steel manifold studs and nuts on my Sprite and apart 
from looking shiney the small wrenching head (takes a 3/8) spanner saves a lot 
of hassle when pulling off the manifolds.

However the really thick washers - called washer manifold clamping to head 
12A1211 aren't stainless and go rusty dark brown.

I wasn't that bothered about this until now because the exhaust manifold 
looks much the same. But, I'm having a new manifold made and it will be 
camcoated. 
So, thick rusty washers will stick out like a sore thumb.

SO, anyone got access to stainless steel bar and a lathe and fancies turning 
up some for me (qty 4)?

If not anybody want some and I'll see how much my local machine shop wants 
for turning some up - I've one person from the MG Cars BBS who wants a set.

Regards

Daniel1312
