hi,
a need some small manifold nuts, access is really poor and i cannot get the originals on, forgot what they are called though!
and where can i get some?
thanks
Sorry but you need some nuts for a manifold? you don't know what they are called, you don't give a size, and you don't say which
engine or which manifold or what material........ Or how many
Mmmmmmm tricky 
I have some. I've put them in a Jiffy bag and popped them in the postbox.....

Ok but you have to give us a bit more to go on...
some old engines use brass nuts on the exhaust manifold - is that what you mean?

They have loads of nuts and bolts etc at Rufforth autojumble http://www.rufforthautojumble.com/ 
Flange nuts?

Loads of nuts use a 15mm hexagon but that doesn't help with the thread size which is the important bit. You need the thread diameter and the pitch to help work out what you want. I've seen 10mm x1.5 ,10mm x 1.25 and also 8mm x 1.25 threads using a 15mm hex nut and probably others as well
dont think people have understood my reply.
the standard nuts that dont fit due to spanner acess are 15mm.
these k nuts come in the same size m10 x 1.5 but use a smaller 12mm head

picked some up from merlin motorsport
pic so show difference between stock ford and these k nuts incase anyone needs "small manifold nuts" in the future!
