Now got some wired exhaust nuts and am about to refit the exhaust, so just need to know is there a certain way to wire up the nuts or do i just feed it through both nuts and wind it up with a pair of grips?

Did mine in a figure of eight on one side of manifold - if that makes sense! (I mean don't do it in a loop around the manifold)

I'm thinking that figure of eight should be on the rhs of the manifold?

Here's a story I did on the subject a few year's back. There are some good illustrations and stuff that cover your questions. Hope it helps!

Why bother with thin wire that snaps??? I just put a small piece of gear cable thru mine with a trunion at each end
