...your Hatori 822 manifold is being a b!tch and keeps coming loose? Simple:

1) Chop the end off the 822 manifold
2) Locate a broken "old style" Hatori manifold, of which I’m sure, like us, you have thousands
3) Clean both ends and put the old style end into the 822
4) Silver solder together
5) Clean and fit to model

By doing this I have saved myself over £90 by not buying an Asano header. I also saved 19g over the original 822 manifold. If it works (and there is no reason why it won't work) I think we are just going to buy a Hatori 822 manifold and immediately modify it. Saves over £50 compared to an Asano header of which I heard there have been one or two problems with anyway.

See attached pic for end result (sorry for fuzziness).
