[simonwwfc]

Rite new exhaust on its way delivery Friday only issue it I need to remove three casing studs to fit rear end can support bracket I'm pretty sure there isn't enough beef sticking out to double nut it . Now any other ideas with out splitting engine case

What did you buy?

My Franspeed Race arrived today and i've exactly the same problem. Managed to "double nut" 2 of the them but the third's proving a problem. Cant get 2 nuts on and if i did it'd be tricky getting a spanner on the back one. Decided to bite the bullet and i'm tack welding the nut onto the stud tomorrow........watch for posts "How to repair a melted casing"

I had to do the same to fit my rear bracket for my Fran race, as I didn't need the studs anymore ( got plenty of spare ones) with the nut done up tight use a drift/punch and hammer over the ends of the studs, then jus wind out the nuts and the studs come with them. Make sure you choose the right three studs!!

so what we saying another product not ready for market ie supplier should tell you possible problem? before you spend your hard earned cash.

No not really my franny race fitted perfect infact I did remark at the time it basically fell on which was a delight.

It's not a product fault, just worn threads and tight studs, in a confined space.....maybe the "problem" is a new product (longer studs, allen headed studs, a decent bespoke extractor, etc ) is needed.

The three I take out I'm gonna replace with Allen heads

Get some long nuts made up same length as spacer then you can keep the studs in chaincase, attach bracket with bolts on other end, saves using screws in and out of alloy
