Title: Manifold Nuts
Post by: Trevor P on December 21, 2005, 05:19:37 PM

Does anyone have the Berg part# for the manifold nuts that they sell for running larger intakes/carbs? I believe that they are a 12mm hex instead of the stock 13mm to clear the manifold better. Looked through the catalog, but can't seem to find them.

Trevor, you don't have to get those from Berg.  Just go over to any Toyota/Honda/Nissan/Mazda dealer and get some.  Japanese standard m8 nuts are 12mm hex.

The Berg nuts have an 8mm ID and use a 10mm socket. They are beyond trick. I use a 3/8 drive ratchet, long extension, w. a swivel and a deep 10mm socket to apply some real torque. No more loose intakes since I started using these. Trust me, I was plagued with loose intake problems.

Lanny, I'm with K-roc on this. I thought you looked at my nuts last summer and decided that they really were SAE  ;)

Trevor, I have Berg's monster manifolds (TB style though) and the 3/8\" x 8mm flanged nuts are the Shatz. I use a 3/8\" x 1/4\" drive swivel socket on a 10 or 12\" 1/4\" drive extension and it works really well, the best I could figure out.

The nuts that Bruce mentioned won't work with my manifolds or any of the truly big uns, but they are OK for exhaust. There is a tall 11mm (3/8\") x 8mm nut in steel or Brass that I prefer for exhaust.

speaking about exhaust, Lanny, don't you suffer from bad exhaust????
