Ford Capri - Replacement studs

[pauleo9]

Hello! I'm having the o-ring replaced on my capri that sits between the exhaust manifold and the exhaust downpipe but I'm struggling to find replacement studs for the joint. Can anyone point me in the right direction ?? Or let me know what sort of measurements or work-arounds I can use.

See pic for the joint I'm on about.

Cheers

Can't you just replace with nuts n bolts?

If you look on the right side of the top part then no, you cant as there is no place to put a bolt or nut.

Take one of the nuts off, take it to your local nut and bolt place (or motor factor maybe), match up the thread with either a long bolt (and cut the head off) or preferrably threaded bar and make your own up.

This, you can buy threaded bar at places like do you all or screw fix direct. I'm guessing here that it's a standard 8x1.25mm thread, if so then..

Hey, thanks for all the tips and comments people, very much appreciated!! I'll check a little longer for actual studs but if not I'll make do with the thread work-around.

Thanks again!!
