Reading this is there actually a sure fire way of doing it without hammering it on to the rack and overtightening the pinch bolt? I want to put a m52 in my car with a e36 rack but dont want to go thru the parlava of modding manifolds again. Has anyone done it properly? If so how?

Sure if someone did a batch of these in a group buy it would get snapped up! winkeye winkeye

nope, no hammering it onto the car if you can re-build the UJ's :D
I have used the heavily splined end of the e34 rod though.. I am mightily impressed if I do say so myself!
Bollocks to this 24v scrap!
