manifold to downpipe studs

M10 they most definately are, the length doesnt matter too much, just make sure its as big but if not bigger to be sure.

Why may ask, you re-studding a manifold? Personally just drill them out and use stainless bolts and two nuts, easier to fit imo, except you have to make sure its lined up properly first

i want to fit a spacer so need to know original size then can find some longer ones

M10 X 1.5 pitch I believe - if you want to replace them with longer studs then getting a good quality tap might be a good idea (cheap ones wont cope with manifold material)

you need longer studs for a spacer. i used a 10mm spacer for my 2e conversion, and with gasketts it only 'just' fits.
1 boly is however now missing!

so m10x?x1.5 pitch
cheers guys just need the length now
