gasket or manifold itself

i have done a guide of swapping it all out and lots of guidance about snapping studs

use lots of penetrating fluids in the months before you do it

I would recommend the FiNE manifold

I second and highly recommend the 'log' manifold made by FiNe.

They do all their business via Facebook now....(which I hate...Bookface that is).
Others have bought and use them and the difference over the original
is noticeable, and...you can re-use your original heatsheild.
For further info and comments on them, have a look through a
few of the 'Show Us Your Mod' thread's of Brab owners.
