Size of exhaust manifold studs
 

Guys i am looking to buy a Tap and Die set to try and re thread one of the holes for the exhaust mani..

What size are they and are they in imperial or metric?? I dont want to buy a set that does not have the correct size..

This was the kit i was looking at...

they are metric i believe. give them a call at import car parts. I got a set of manifold studs from them a while back so they should be able to tell you what size they are

M10x1.25mm from memory..........

Alyn is the decimal point in the wrong place.


1.25mm is very short. ????

1.25 is the pitch of the thread!

:oops::oops:

its a good job your an engineer :lol:

Thanks son. :doh:

Well you learn something every day :whistle:

its "big" enough for the job...................:lol:

Cheers guys that is the correct size, i have ordered a Tap in that size today, fingers crossed i will be able to repair it.. :doh:

just take it real easy and slow. wind it in an 8th of a turn at a time and then back out, then an 8th more and back out again. if you feel any more resistance than usualy, wind it right out n spray with WD40 to clean out any crap. once you have done 2 complete revolutions, wind it completely out anyways and s[ray with WD40 to dislodge any crap.
patience is the key
