I used the LET springs on the downpipe with new studs as mine were all corroded but a spring is a spring at the end of the day so as long as it fits it should be fine.
Notice you have the wrong type of nuts holding the turbo manifold to the head though, not sure how much difference the correct ones make but Vauxhall must have chose to do them different for a reason?
Also looks like you have fitted an XE exhaust manifold gasket, LET ones are shiny metal?
Lee: I've had to use xe manifold nuts as i don't have an let ones (came with xe ones) and you cant buy let ones any more..
Gasket wise, it came in a head gasket set and the all list xe and let the same, looked like the one that came off...
Benn normal manifold nuts will be fine, But as Lee said, im pritty sure the let manifold gasket should have a metal layer to help with the heat, i know myne has.
Autovaux do the proper studs still, quite expensive though.Quote:

Edit - Dan just beat me to it.
I didnt think av could do them anymore, will give them a ring.
Gasket looks/is the same as the one that came off, but i will look in to it.
Exhaust is "finished" with my bodged plate.
