Where to get new studs from (T2 Turbo)
Turbo Mini Forums

Every stud snapped that holds the turbo to the R5 manifold and i need to get new ones. we had to drill and tap the new threads and get the old bolts out they were almost welded. Is it possible to get slightly longer studs, and where should i look for them from?

thankyou

james

Best bet is to get some stainless steel studding and make your own, im sure Dave posted a link up about this last year, think it was from screwfix direct................

There ya go

Thankyou!!! just ordered 2meters of studding, 100 nuts and 100 washers, they will come in usefull in other places too.

thanks so much for that!!

Im guessing you cut the threaded rod down to the stud length?

Ill get photos tomorow of my actuator bracket and oil drain hose, it looks really good rick who made me it might make them if other people want to buy them.
