OEM Renault CAT to Manifold fitting kit which way does it fit?

[INZ 18]

I know this has been asked numerous times but most threads give different answers and configurations lmao!

bolt-deep cup-manifold-mesh ring-cat-2xwasher-spring-shallow cup-nut

bolt, cup, metal washer, fibre washer, spring, cap, nut

Bolt
Cup on the mani side.
Then
Fibre washer
Spring
Other washer
Other cup
Nut

Does anyone know definitively which way is correct, Changing it tomorrow and I cant be sure that the one fitted atm is in correctly as its been on and off for cat and decat fitting numerous times.


Cheers,

Yes I see that also,

its just a different way from what Fred@BTM suggests...

I think Fred@BTM is correct as what point is there in having a washer inside the end cup and I would be wary of putting the fibre washer directly against the flange on the cat?? (as per pic above I posted and the same pic in link in guides section)

 

[Fred@BTM]

my way is 100% correct!

my way is 100% correct!

Thought so,
So you have Bolt, cup, Mani flange, cat flange, washer, fibre washer, spring, cup, nut
