Guys, as a backup plan I need 4 M8x40 studs reasonably quickly.
I have tried loads of local places without success, anyone know where I can source some from?

Should be able to buy M8 threaded bar from B&Q Warehouse - just cut it to length. (This assumes you dont have a strange thread pitch requirement)
unfortunately they need to `1.25mm pitch
just tried by me and everywhere has 1.5mm but no 1.25mm
Screwfix? Next day delivery.

I would have thought that this is the standard 1.5mm pitch
Are you sure they're 8mm?
8 x 1.25 is the the more "normal" sizing for these threads, i.e. ISO Metric Course. The ISO Metric fine 8mm stud has a thread pitch of 1.00mm. My wall chart doesn't show a standard thread of 8x1.5mm
I only ask as I had trouble getting threaded stock the same size as the manifold to cat joint studs, which are 10x1.25 ISO metric fine threads.

Sorry, couldn't resist. s:D :D s:D
This is the info I got on what I require... does this help you engineer types any?
M8x1.25x40mm You can even take an M8 bolt and cut the head off which makes a stud
Just checked 1.25 is the normal pitch on a Metric course M8 thread.

So... I can just buy some M8 threaded bar and cut it up?

As far as I can see yes. I may even have some spare at work. s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

Yup, but if you wanted a more "OEM" installation, I think that the stock cylinder head to exhasut manifold studs are the same size.
If you let me know the length and number I will try and cut them up for you tomorrow.

Heath, as above - I guess that the x40 is 40mm long?
If that's the case, I need four - and thanks! s:D :D s:D

Is the length precise of about 40mm give or take .5mm s:?: :?: s:?:
Give o take I would think - there will be a small amount protruding from the nut so I don't think it really matters Heath.

Will cut up tomorrow and post to Marks house Thursday. What is Mark's surname as I keep having to just put Mark on the parcels s:?: :?: s:?: s:oops: :oops: s:oops:
Jones,
cheers Heath
Mark,
these sound like the studs i got for the fitting meet. They were from the kwik-fit type place just a little further on from halfords for future reference..
LOL great minds Chris, we didn't use them in teh end (sorry) so should still be 4 in my draw.

Are these the correct size before I go and cut some up s:?: :?: s:?:
I honestly don't know heath.
If you could cut them anyway it would be best to be on the safe side

Will do s:wink: :wink: s:wink:
It looks like we are going to need them Heath, as the proper ones don't look like they will make it here by Friday!
Thanks to everyone who has helped with this s:D :D s:D
I have made 4 x 40mm length and two spares that are about 0.5mm short. They have been sent in the post today so please confirm Mark that you have received them as I can always knock up a few more if they go missing s:? :? s:?
will do
cheers Heath
s:wink: :wink: s:wink:
studs arrived this mornig.
cheers Heath
Heath - I owe you one, many thanks! s:D :D s:D

No problem lads; any time I can be of assistance. I just hope they are suitable and the correct pitch etc. Double check Mark s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

Yes that would be just too tempting. I nearly bought a turbo kit late last year s:? :? s:?
