I have to replace the gasket again. What I noticed on mine is that the nuts worked themselves loose.

You can find all-metal self-locking nuts that would probably work OK. They have a tight, slightly springy top part that makes them hard to turn on the stu; /html/spitfires/2005-04/msg00019.html (8,409 bytes)

I have the stock US spec MK IV manifold and single pipe with three studs, and that joint has never given me the least bit of trouble as long as I can; /html/spitfires/2005-04/msg00022.html (8,275 bytes)

When I hook up my dual down pipe to the euro header, I will not clamp the down pipe to anything but the noisey, rust p; /html/spitfires/2005-04/msg00025.html (7,928 bytes)
