i.e. Attachment 74948

I'm just curious how you would thread a bolt in that? not to mention you cant cut a C or a U in the bolt after its torqued lol, that would be stupid. I guess the real question would then be: "how much of the t-stat would need to be removed according to which run of manifolds you got, because clearances would not be the same for every piece. Either way its rediculous and I know you stated you wouldn't do it anyway. I was just confused and wanted an explination.
Atleast we're on the same page with what I meant but cuting a section out and going from the back but You would not have to thread the newly formed C or U. You use a bolt to go threw and a small locking nut that isn't much thicker then the bolt your using to push up agaist the C or U. This is exactly why I said I wouldn't do it because you would need to do rediculous ghetto rigging to get it to work. I don't liek the log style but not enough to go threw all that.
