Anyone Interested In Capped Manifold Bolts?
#1
i am getting a set of capped manifold bolts made for my car, to cover up my ugly studs, and i have clearence issues anyway, so i need em, and i can get a program made, so they can be easily replicated.. there is a 99% chance they will be made from stainless.
it will be more of a show piece, but it will serve a purpose. will get rid of those NASTY rusty stock manifold nuts, and will cover the studs preventing them from rusting..
they will be a lil different from the design i just came up with, but close to the same, and can be different lengths if you want, as long as they cover the whole stud. i know some of us turbo guys cant be certain lengths, because of clearences and stuff..
again, i wont be making them unless there are people who want em, but im just checking cuz they can be made..

itll prob be closer to 20$ shipped.. these are going to be custom, so its gonna take some time, and they are going to be stainless..
yah, i can make more of it hexed for the people who have N/A manifolds, cuz you guys wont have a problem getting them on..
i have a problem because the hex part hits my manifold, which is why i need the hex part to be at the end..
alex, can you get me the size of our studs. i can get them made also.. they will be made from hardened steel obviously.

I can get you the stud size, they are the same for intake and exhaust. I've got all the intake ones in a bag in the garage.

I'm in, you should organize a Group Buy Mass Sale for this, maybe you'd be able to get them to us cheaper.
Edit: removed Group Buy because that seems to be a dirty word these days.
