has anybody else had prolems with the bolts on the inside part of the minispares inlet manifold?

i could only just get a socket onto the end of the nut to tighten it up.

i dont know if it is enough yet but has anyone else had this problem?

it is the third nut from the left as you face the windcreen of the car.

The ones on the inside are a very close fit and usually you need a long socket to get on them ( you'll notice it has two roundish dents in the bottom of the manifold )

Also, if the manifold does not have the locating rings, it's also possible to mount it low which will also prevent you from getting to the inner bolts...

Miniboo, when your fitting the inlet, check the flange thickness of your inlet and your exhaust, if they differ you'll have to cut some washers in half or something to spacer the side out that has the thinner flange, to make sure you get an airtight fit!

or put the bigger side to a grinder :smartass:

its got the locating lugs so i think it is the right height.

i cant even get a socket all the way over the nut!!

the exhaust is flush with the inlet so i think that is ok
