   Just fitted my manifold today with some stainless internal allen socket head bolts m8x1.25 x20mm. Fuck me it was so much easier with bolts than studs and nuts. also cleans the bay up a lot. Oh and I got them from ebay. Was £1.59 posted.
   
   Stainless bolts.The bloke is mint too will do anything to help and never let me down.

   Please don't use these as they are the exact same as the ones i have posted above but someone is bumping the price up by saying there exhaust manifold bolts. Tut tut stevo!!!!!!
   
   Also just had a look and the manifold studs and copper nuts are still available 30p per stud and 22p per nut.

   So better off going stainless then and they will never rust.

    you ever tried fitting an aftermarket mani while using stud and nuts?
    top row of nuts are easy to put on, but the ones underneath are near on impossible to put nuts on, plus they rust and look shit.
    when they rust, they're a bugger to get off unless you use an angle grinder (which i had to before i used the stainless bolts)
    plus using the stainless ones makes it look alot nicer and hell of alot easier to fit the mani

    ye have fitted lots off these never had a problem just leave the car running for ten minutes get some heat it the nuts and hey presto do the bottom ones fron underneth with a 13mm spanner job done fair enuogh stainless is always gona look beter totally agree there just recon it would be a bit acward getting first few started and hold gasket on at same time plus manufactures use studs and these pacifically desined nuts for a reason i used a standard bolt in a stud hole ware the end off the stud had been damadged and the bolt constantilly came slack
