AW: [DMCForum] Changing the exhaust gasket

["Elvis Nocita" <elvisnocita@xxxxxx>]

Thanks guys, but my exhaust gaskets have been fixed last year  and studs
were replaced, too. I just wanted to say - why spend a lot of time and
money
if things can be fixed very easy and cheap with parts available around the
corner.
I also heared of Renault garages who only replaced those studs with M8 on
Alpines or R25...

And when I ordered the M7 studs last year from Renault, they sent me M8
ones, way too short and the M6 nuts they sent me, too, didn't fit ;-)
(I had the correct ordering numbers from other Delorean owners, but
Renault
wasn't able to deliver the correct parts....)

Elvis, you can readily buy M7 recoil kits and replacement studs, nuts
and washers are available from Volvo. I can supply if you're interested.
