Just removed them, now fitted stainless bolts.. Also making a new s/s 2.5" down pipe with flexi fitted (is m/s 2" up till now), so that should sort it

There's no room on my t25 for m10 bolts, as its got 3mm meat for gasket as it is.

Dan wont the stainless studs just snap as well as they arent made of high tensile steel so are a bit more brittle
