   Firstly, i apologise if this is a stupid question and i may seem less manly for not knowing about cars.
   
   But, iv just recevd my supersprint centre section *race only* and upon initial inspection i'v noticed that the holes for the bolts that join it to the manifold are huge. ( i can fit my finger through them) and im just wondering whether the bolts/springs are just guna go straight through them??
   
   I have held it up to see yet, or even looked under car as im at work today. so may be ok.
   
   Also how much are new bolts/springs/gasket?
   
   Thanks

   theres little spacer rings that are in your cat,
   or alternatively,
   go buy the exhaust fitting kit from citroen
   
   new bolts
   new spacers
   new springs
   new gasket.
   
   problem solved.

   aye need to bang out the old spacer rings out of the CAT, use a socket and bang away with a hammer then put into the supersprint centre and fit

   he needs the exhaust fitting kit anyways,
   so just buy that and youll have new rings.

   Thanks guys much appreciated. 9.50+ VAT from dealer!
   
   its pissing down with rain atm though, so gunna have to wait.
   
   also, never go to Motor Parts Direct! according to the guy i spoke to. "theres no bolts to connect cat to manifold on a vts" and "citroen didnt make a saxo VTS until year 2000!"
