Are they one and the same?

Do they have to be bought from Fords or are they sprinkled with fairy dust prior to dispatch! (fucking prices Ford want to charge for them you'd think they were! ).

Cheers.

inlet doesn't use studs?

can be bought direct from cosworth

 

I'm sure they're studs Nick............... Failing that god knows what was holding my inlet manifold on.

Forgot Cosworth - Nice one!

These are them i think?!?!

 

the studs on the inlet are on the bottom row i think

 

So what are the top ones then? I'm sure there's a couple on top

 

EDIT:

Nope you are correct Gareth! Just checked a picture of my lump!

 

lower inlet, studs

upper inlet, tapped threads for bolts


Dinlow

 

cause im correct

 

if you keep an eye on ebay then graham goode were selling them in their ebay shop (under the name rs500_2 )

here's the inlet studs

you MUST use genuine exhaust studs and nuts,the inlet isn't so important,obviously just get the right sizes and they'll be fine,i used new studs for all 9 inlet fixings,and then a nut and spring washer.

the exhaust nuts can be pricey though (nuts around a fiver EACH from some places ) but if you use the wrong ones the heat will kill them and they rust to fook and you can't get them off again

 

think ive got a full set of exhaust nuts in my garage, got them from cosworth... cost about £80!

used for the duration my car was on the road

 

Franco couldn't remember having studs on my 2wd, although it may well have done. think i only took the inlet off once.

glad to be of some help

 

i think your right mate,some were black cap headed bolts,and then the lower four were stud/nut i think?

 

Cheers Nick, Martin & Plebston!

Seems that looking at some pic's i've got there should only be 4 on the lower inlet side, so god knows where they're getting 5 from!

 

14 exhaust



Only 4 inlet

 

yeah i thought that too nice to have one spare i guess

oh and there's 16 exhaust studs,you have two missing

they have a few cheap bits on their ebay shop that you maybe haven't considered changing

As i might have a word with Rich (B9KOS).

 

Pass mate, but i'd guess there were coming from Cosworth.....

I take it you mean the cut slot on the side of the nut

So are you offering these to the cause or what!

 

yeah, you can have em if i can find em

 

Good man

it'll look tidy if you do what i think your gonna do

 

Yes Martin i thin we'r on the same wave length, nice bit of Carbon!

Just got to ask my ENGINE builder if he approves of this setup
