broken exhaust studs

[scottishbybirth]

I snapped three bolts at the block this year. My solution was to use the spare lugs either side of the original lugs drilled and tapped fresh holes to take new studs. I ground the old studs flush. Admittedly the exhaust manifolds now look odd being 90degrees out of since to the outsides but a quick and easy fix. I count myself very lucky to have not caught any internal oil/water feed pipes but 3000 miles later with no loss of oil or water I must have been very lucky. And no I don't know the lottery numbers for next week he he.
