• The whole of the 3.8 litre M97 manifold is plastic - would need to be bonded on.

    Hat tip to Danstuff for this suggestion:

    Cut away only those parts of the manifold flange that foul the position which the bolts need to be, put a plate over the top of the flange that can take bolts down into the head, compressing the M97 manifold between the plate and the head, holding it in place.

    ?

  • Yeah sensible idea, machine off the tabs and make something that fits over the top as a compression plate.

    Could do that with daily basic water jet cut plate and some sleeves.

    Bonding to the plastic should be relatively simple depending what the plastic is
