Himico manifold install

Post by csnailnrun » Tue Jul 09, 2019 9:49 pm

Who is running a Himico manifold that can share if there is special install hardware? Fine thread hex bolts seem to be ok but the outer portions of the manifold is a similar dimple of a standard manifold. Maybe too innermost where the intake comes up. Any advice?

I had a Wilmo, kinda sorta like that.
It used the studs and straps like a stock setup.
That's the only way to get pressure on the center ports. Just standard rings/glands.
I actually have/had bolts...

Standard clamps do not work for this manifold.
Any other suggestions?

If the area where the stud comes thru on both sides is the same height;
The Model A used an extra thick washer in this area. They are concave on one side so only the edge put pressure on the mounting. The only problem I could see using those is the Model A stud is 7/16 and the T 3/8. The hole would be a little big but might work.
