    It is the outer 1 and 5 positions that should be slotted. These are the ones that break and benefit if the manifold can slide.

    Mine has the outer (1 & 5) holes drilled out & larger studs fitted. Trouble is drilling out the shim metal type gasket, it buckles, bends and twists, I wound up gradually filing the holes out with a very fine round file, what do others do in this situation?

    I would use a dremmel tool with the appropriate bit.

    Here are the JE Engineering studs fitted to a stock manifold that has been de-webbed and ceramic coated by APT Fabrications.

    Feel free to hit me up with any questions regarding either product. I'll try to help if I can.

    I've got a bolt missing on number 1 and a nut missing on 5. The car runs well so I don't want to do things to it unnecessarily. But anything that prevents problems later is a good idea. Should I just place the nut and bolt without removing anything or strip it down ?

    If it's not leaking, usually evidenced by soot around it or whistling sound when accelerating. I would just try and replace the missing items first. Should be a stud missing, not a bolt though.
