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

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?

sorry been up too early i think for a sunday!
the nuts that ford use are 15mm spanner headed, you cannot get a 15mm spanner in there to tighten them up, i want a nut that has a thinner wall and
uses a smaller spanner to allow access. i got some before for the turbo but forgot there name or where i purchased from!
found some any way, like this

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
