    The standard studs are too big for my raceland manifold, so ive decided the blowing is annoying the crap outta me, gunna go down tomorrow and sort it out.

    Any1 got a raceland manifold and know the measurements of the new studs i need to get.

    Even just the width would be of some help.

    Cheers

    Did you not fit new ones when you first fitted it? If not then new standard ones from citreon will sort it

    standard ones from citreon dont fit, they fit 6 out of 8 holes, but 2 of them hit on pipes. so need shorter ones, just not sure on width

    thats what happens when you buy a raceland i very much doubt you'll be able to get a bolt with the correct size thread but with a smaller head.

    answered your own question then really mate, just grind the 2 bolts down to the right size.

    Like already said m8, just carefully file the holes out!
