Manifold to down pipe

[Ropaz99]

Guys,

My manifold to downpipe is missing a stud and is now blowing, the hole where the stud has also lost its thread.
Has anyone had a similar problem? if so what do i do?

I'm current thinking of drilling the hole out slightly and putting in a bigger stud, any thoughts?

put a bolt through with a nut on the end..

13mm nut and bolt fits perfectly. If you have the threads however just a 13mm normal bolt will do, the threads are the same

I can't do a nut and bolt because its the one at the front with the enclosed top. But there is no thread in the hole so a nut is out of the question too.

buy a tap and die set, cost you about 15quid from a market. Insert the correct threaded piece into your hole, hit it a few times with a hammer, a twist it with some moul grip. This will re-tap your thread so you can then thread a new 13mm bolt in.
