Exhaust manifold studs??

[Jono FD3]

Where is the best place to buy the above & nuts to go with them???
Turbo - downpipe section.
Mine are sha66ed & I\'ve snapped one of them, so I want to replace all 4!!

I would say mazda dealer, should\'nt cost too much. Have you got the part numbers?

[Fish]

Halfords sell them. Sell for pennies.

[Jono FD3]

No, no part numbers!!!!
Have you got them???


Halfords??

As in the useless company that doesn\'t stock anything of use???
You shock me there!!! Would any branch have them or just the big city ones???

mazda charge about 24 quid for 4 studs and nuts for downpipe studs, exhaust manifold studs cant be more expensive except there are 6 of them.  They are made from proper inconel as well which im not sure the halfrauds ones are

and tap the nuts out before you fit them, the standard mazda studs lock on the studs so if the stud is ceased in the block then it snaps undoing it.

It\'s the down pipe nuts & studs I need!!!


AAHHHHHhhhhhhh My Mazda dealer is a rip off merchant!!!
4 studs & 4 nuts come to £45.68!!!! & they aren\'t shure they are the right ones because mine is an import!!!!


Cheers

all studs are the same...

i get trade discount from my dealer because im special :o) 45 quid is extortionate!

Do you not have a friend that worsk for a motor factor/garage than can order them up for you?

Well the twins are off now..... at last!!!

So many heat shields around the turbos it took the p155!!!

Anyway, all I\'ve got to do now is extract the original broken stud & the one I tightend instead of undoingcoz I knocked the switch on the ratchet getting to the nut...... then its time for it all to go back, top up all the fluids, then take it for it\'s first test drive after doingthe clutch & exhaust!!!
