the wire ring/bush/gasket that sits between the manifold and downpipe, how the feck are you meant to fit that? everytime i tried it always sat fat at 1 end thin at the other, and trying to get the springs and bolts on after that was nigh-on impossible. even removed the manifold and still could'nt get it right

you talking about the doughnut thingy between the manifold and the downpipe? you got it so the tapered(that a real word?  )/small end is in the downpipe and the big end on the manifoldhow have you got the springs? you got them before or after the downpipe if you get me? the springs need to be just infront of the nut so as you tighten it it comresses and forces the doughnut and all the bits towards the manifold and holds it all together do i make sense in what i have said?

am i thinking of the same part? the flange that connects the cat? 2 bolts with springs on with a circle of metal that helps create the seal!! |
