petert 560 Posted June 13, 2007 I supply tapered washers with mine: http://www.taylor-eng.com/conversion/conversion_parts.htm They allow you to use the standard nuts, holding tension correctly on the stud. You'll be forever tightening those radiused bolts. It's simply not the correct engineering solution. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gti_al 1 Posted June 13, 2007 (edited) Is that pic in the middle showing a gasket between the plate and manifold? What about the other side? I've got one of peter's, but not sure how do fit it... Two gaskets ok? EDIT... just read peter's link. Nevermind. Edited June 13, 2007 by gti_al Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You'll be forever tightening those radiused bolts. It's simply not the correct engineering solution. I've had one 205 cover 35k+ miles and another one cover 15k+ miles with QEP plates with no issues at all. I tightened them once when I fitted them (which was much easier than normal due to the allen key bolts) and they've been fine since. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I used two gaskets as I was fitting the manifolds with the engine already in the car and it would have been very difficult IMO to ensure that paste didn't get where it shouldn't.

matt350cos 0 Posted June 13, 2007 I fitted one and found i still needed to cut the exhaust so i got a reangled manifold. i think some fit ok and some you have to still cut the exhaust. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan 99 Posted June 14, 2007 The Mi16 manifolds were handmade and some are quite a bit longer than others. It seems to be luck of the draw as to whether you need to cut the downpipe or not. I needed to take 30mm out of mine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
