I think we all know not to touch a hot engine manifold and if not you'll soon learn!

It went in the bin when I removed it TBH!

I wouldn't remove it if there is no reason to do so but if the studs rust out and it starts to vibrate like they do, it's not something that would be missed.

Having said that, if you don't want it I'll take it and the securing bolts off your hands if you'd post them!
