Afternoon,

Managed to snap one of the exhaust manifold to head studs on my M20B25!! I have managed to get the remains of the stud out of the head (thank goodness), but will now need some more studs and bolts, presuming if I've managed to snap one, I'll probably manage to snap some more.

I'm thinking they are: M8 x 43mm 1.25 pitch studs with 12mm copper nuts - where's the best place to get them from ?

Thank you for any help.

Patrick

Get them from BMW. Last year when I got them 12 x studs were £4.42 and 12 x nuts were £9.20. They wanted £36.17 for the 12 x washers, so I just re-used the old ones.

I think the nuts are just copper coated.
