Now, can i just sling it on in place of the old one, or do i need a new gasket?
Also, do the bolts need to be torque'd or just tight?
Cheers

A new rubber seal is a good idea, but not essential.
tighten by hand only.
it might be a PITA, but it will go on without you having to remove the inlet manifold.
That was quick for royal snail standard parcels btw.
