Guest newl Guests Posted 30/01/10 08:55 AM Share Posted 30/01/10 08:55 AM I seem to have lost my lower rear (towards the firewall) manifold to turbo nut at some point today (the exhaust leak is quite noticable ).After searching for a bit, the studs would appear to be 10mm and the nuts 14mm and that the Nord-Lock washers would be the way to go (size of M10).I'm looking to verify this information before I hit Coventrys on Monday.If someone could do that, I'd be much appreciative of the help.

Guest newl Guests Posted 30/01/10 09:29 AM Share Posted 30/01/10 09:29 AM To add insult to injury, I snapped the hose clamp at the crossover towards the front (the one that feeds from the under battery pipe) . Anyone happen to have the size? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/65643-manifold-to-turbo-bolt-and-nut-sizes/#findComment-976408 Share on other sites More sharing options...

They worked well mate. I did my turbo to dump and turbo to manifold and also where the turbo itself splits. Got sick of tightening them up and replacing them as they fell out.No such problem with the FG so far thank goodness. Also bought mine at Coventry fasteners.

stubbsy351 Member 11 Member For: 15y 7d Posted 07/08/10 11:48 AM Share Posted 07/08/10 11:48 AM I lost one of my bolts from turbo-manifold (fwd inner) the hardest one to get to, so I just replaced it with an m10x25 with a spring washer. Much easier than having to wind in a stud then fit a nut to it, will be interesting to see how it holds up.
