"There is a company "Nickson Industries" who makes a "clamp a stud" it is used as a permanent solution to repair impossible to get at or broken manifold studs. It is their part number 500...says it fits 1/4" to 1-3/4" studs in most imports. Repair shops usually cannot use them but you should be able to. They have a website and are located in Plainville, CT. You might call them and find out who they distribute to in your area."

I got that off of 4dsc.com. Has anyone ever heard of or used this "clamp a stud" if so does it work? i need a quick cheap fix fast.

thanks, Chris

it's a quick cheap fix allright. in a few months, it's going to be a long expensive fix to replace all the stuff damaged by the quick cheap fix.

you get what you pay for. you're paying for crap. caveat emptor.

I saw that as well. If you look at it closely, you'll see that it is designed to "fix" broken studs on the manifold to header pipe only. If that's where you have a problem, then by all means try it. Some people think that it can be used to fix the manifold to head stud problems, and it definitely won't work for that.

thanks guys, i was a bit skeptical, figured if it was such an easy fix I would have heard about it by now.
