   Is there any other way of plugging the hole that is left behind, apart from threading the hole and popping a bolt in it?

   Most motor factors/parts suppliers/tool shops/halfords will sell them

   Cheers mate. I've had a look in some places and they look at me like I'm speaking a different language

   Just ask for a Metric Tap and Die set, make sure you have a M10 1st and 3rd (the 2nd isnt really needed tbh)

   I'm about to start fitting the mani and an exhaust system I've had a read of the how to that's on here. Is there anything I need to watch out for?
