Does anyone know where to source these tricky little intake manifold nuts.
I thought CB Performance did them but can,t find a listing on their website.

Make your own. I use 14mm hex bar which is cut 40mm long and tapped on the inside

Gene Berg has some specialised manifold nuts. Uses US post as well so it doesn't cost the earth to ship them

Now that is something I haven't seen before..

Maybe VW should have used these on Air cooled engines...

Some told me a good hint with the nuts, put a taper on the seating side and that way the manifold will always be in the same position relative head
