[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 7203155, member: 54866"] Any fixing (or anything really) attached to or involved with an exhaust will be dealing with a lot of hot/cold cycling and/or a lot of vibration and grief. It's not the kind of place where using the wrong spec stuff or old, tired fixings or the like want to be reused. They are just asking to fail on you. Having a loose exhaust manifold which suddenly lets hot exhaust gases escape into the engine bay is just asking for a serious failure of something else or an instant bonfire in the engine bay. Sounds like you were lucky. I'm not a mechanic by any means but I do enjoy throwing stuff away and new shiny bits when working on stuff. Had an exhaust related issue a while ago with my fudging chainsaw. Old bolts attaching the exhaust to the cylinder were fudged. New ones fitted and nipped up tight beautifully. [/QUOTE]
