would a similar set up work also for the exhaust manifold? As to set that up in my case was a night mare..due to small missalignment, as the 4 tubes are not connected by a steal plate but separat..took me def 4..hours to set both up serving by rope and lever
...You should try it! Screwing in All 8 studs. I think it would work for you. 'Leverage' (wood or plastic lever) each primary sliding onto it's pair of studs, and use 12 point Nuts. The only problem would be to securely LOCK the Nuts, and the Studs, from loosening.
