mbayley77 0 Posted June 2, 2006 have you tried a local machine shop? they should be able to make up something like that without any problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mad Professor 7 Posted June 2, 2006 I have been into a few local firms. When I ask thay look at me like I am mad. This Island is useless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pug_101 0 Posted June 2, 2006 I might be able to have them made up for you. Whats lengths each thread, do you need a flange in the middle etc. Post the details and hopefully by the end of next week you'll have them. What they for??? if you don't mind me asking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jack biscuit 0 Posted June 2, 2006 Hmm, i wonder? Given them a drawing? What are the studs for? Don't studs usually have a different pitch thread on each end? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mad Professor 7 Posted June 2, 2006 I have not got the lengths to hand at this point in time. I think it probley would be best to have a blank flange in the middle. This is for my TT manifold, The manifold had been drilled out and helicoiled, I guess someone in the past had snaped a stud, I hate helicoils at the best of times to retaped the manifold to M12 (1.5mm Pitch), A M12 stud will not fit tho the holes in the turbo and I am sure not drilling the holes bigger to fit. So I tought it would be best to get a stud to suite. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StuartE 0 Posted June 3, 2006 If you get stuck for somewhere to get these made you could always try these guys. http://www.nssocketscrews.com/ I've never used them myself but they claim they can make anything to the customers drawing, could be costly but like I say if you're stuck it's worth a try.

M3Evo 0 Posted June 4, 2006 Thought manifold studs were pretty s*itty in terms of material generally. Think I've got an M12x1.5 die kicking about, but only an M10x1.0 but if anyone's got the M10 to lend me I'd happily make them out of mild if you're stuck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mad Professor 7 Posted June 5, 2006 So far only one firm has replyed to my e-mails / phone calls, and thay want £15 per stud. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StuartE 0 Posted June 5, 2006 Is Mild Steel alright for these then?, if so i'll ask a guy at work who makes stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mad Professor 7 Posted June 5, 2006 I don't know but the recipt from Turbo Technics, say that the turbo manifold nuts are Mild Steel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M3Evo 0 Posted June 5, 2006 Wow, suddenly just occured to me that M10x1.5 is the standard pitch so I've got an M10 die here! What a numpty I am! If you wanna get hold of some 1/2" mild steel bar and post it to me with a sketch I'll do 'em for ya! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
