the nuts are not working loose imo, maybe the thread pitch is 1.25, its over a year since i fitted the turbo, the lock nuts are about 17 mm and squashed oval, the stud actually stretches when it reaches red heat,it was far worse when I had the .63 housing from atp , I know what i need roughly just I cannot find them local to me

you can get inconnel studs from GCG ( turboedsloth posted a link earlier in the thread ) not sure if they have the length you are chasing??

surely you need a bolt not a stud, not sure if you could screw one of those oval crush lock nuts on either end of a stud,

I've tried pretty much everyone locally that came up on google.... and nobody sells inconnel bolts off the shelf, they have round bar etc and only machine up bolts to order for industry, aero etc would be bloody expensive for the quantities we are wanting.. I see you are in Ireland, I thought you might be able to find somewhere up there...? obviously not..

If anyone has better luck than me, post it up here for everyone thumbsup.gif

i just put new studs on and new bolts, the bolts i was givin were bigger than the standard ( 17mm opposed to 14mm spanner used) and were a tighter fit on the thread than the old ones ( tighter on and tighter off, you can get these ) , if the bolts are working loose you should try locking two nuts together instead of using just one, that way it cant come loose or try a tighter fitting nut.

The bolts and studs from MTQ were pretty crap, i dont think they even matched properly, the ones from the nuts and bolts shop look solid alot more solid and beefy,

i can honestly say, do not skimp in this department cause after drilling out 6 old broken bolts out of the cylinder head and some new bolts even stripping threads on new studs lol, you dont want to do this twice lol...

I tried to remove the turbo studs from my OEM gt-t exhaust manifold because I need longer ones. I've put some WD40 on over night an screwed two nuts on them but could not manage to remove the studs.

Is there any special method to remove them from the manifold?

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......

      I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.

      IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰

      Nah, I'm not an a-hole, ha ha!   I do like the colour match. Some of the carbon fibre wraps are quite freaking horrible. There's one a local company I know uses, and it looks damn good! Also very very expensive per metre to buy! ha ha ha It might be cheaper to respray the roof than use the good CF Wrap, ha ha!
