Re: (paul vang)

Did you try A smaller nut? It looks like you can get a smaller one in there, but it's hard to tell from the pic angle.

Re: (igo4bmx)

Ive seen this happen to many known companies also. <U>Just hold the nut in first and screw it in while go in

and Screw.. </U>

This version seems to have a cleaner clearance.

Re: SSAutoPoopy Still Sucks (SinisterCRX)

That's not bad. If your nut won't fit Hack it smaller until it does. Fortunately you don't need a lot of clamping force right there, just make sure the flange is true. i.e, take it to a machine shop and face the flange, just to be on the safe side.

Re: SSAutoPoopy Still Sucks (beepy)

Really, bet your cousin you can get the manifold further into the cemetery than he can from your driveway. Put that thing to rest. hahah
