Manifold to Cat bolts

[mwn11]

Need new bolts, the spring ones, as mine are old and rounding off so i cant tighten them enough to stop them rattle.

Im sure i read another car uses the same bolts?

Citroen or Pugeot iirc?

The gasket is ok so id rather not have to buy the nwperformance kit.

Wondered if you could just pick the spring bolts up anywhere easily?

I use Peugeot 406 2.0 16v ones

And they fit and work fine?

replace the entire kit with a genuine one

I used the NWP kit on ebay, no issues to report, and only £13 odd from memory

If the springs rattle its because the gasket is worn out. Cheap kits are awkward as Hell as the bolts and springs are odd lengths. I use an oem kit that's cheaper than Renault, but identical

Mine has been fine, the gasket is from the same car too. Had the same one on for over 12 months even after removing the engine 3 times, every time I took the gasket off it had worn perfectly centrally so didn't bother changing it. I paid £5-6 for the whole lot from my local factors.
