Progress slow in amongst answering to her indoors whom is doing my accounts and questioning stuff. anyone got any idea how this manifold bolt bracket thing works??? I sat looking at it and tossed it to one side when I couldn’t figure it out Mystery bracket seen from below, it is for the turbo support of the alunox manifold. The small bracket attaches to one of the turbo / manifold bolts. 1 Quote Esprit Freak Link to post Share on other sites

Gold FFM Barrykearley 7,164 Posted January 18, 2018 Author Gold FFM Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 New studs arrived. They weigh significantly more than the shit stainless ones I bought. studs fitted - can’t line manifold up - so strip that into bits - bolt on loose. Hammer back together and tighten up. So there we are - back where we started. lesson learned - don’t buy manifold studs off fleabay Quote Only here once Link to post Share on other sites
Gold FFM Barrykearley 7,164 Posted January 24, 2018 Author Gold FFM Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 Finally......... bearing assembly arrived from Pnm today. Came home after a rubbish day in the freezing wet weather and with the aid of my mate Ross - gearbox now bolted back on. maybe - just maybe - the tractor will be visiting the weekend and whack the lump back in the engine bay. It’s counties swimming this weekend (and the next couple) so I may have to take him to those in the s4 instead 2 Quote Only here once Link to post Share on other sites
