Nic's guide on fitting a mirage manifold is excellent, just wanted to check though, it says get some K nuts, and so i bought some online. Do these look about right?



Also, heres a pic of the stainless lambda sensor boss welded onto my manifold...

You need 5/16 UNF for your head studs and 8mm ones for the studs on the manifolds.

I send out 2 of each with the manifolds, which is enought for the fiddely areas.

Just been deciding on what nuts to use one mine! ha ha! already had it sorted and now i read this! lol! still tempted with some modified cap head bolts though, like the thought of being able to remove the manifolds easier.

Mine are actually from a Go-Karting place. They are actually wheel nuts for a go kart *wink*
