Big lumps of metals and spanners.

yes, and syncro and 2wd are the same too

if you are going to make them I'd look at alternative fixing rather than the exhaust studs - I've tried drilling and tapping a head where the two casting bosses are on the bottom of the head and can do them at M6, 8mm deep without breaking into the rocker chamber, so when I change mine next time they have to come off I'll weld on a couple of tabs to goto the head and cut off the tabs to the exhaust, a few less long studs and extra nuts to corrode and shear, just use bolts to put the exhaust on then. I've used stainless before without any issues though I was advised against using them but 30k miles no problems, and the exhuast has been on and off a couple of times (JP System) no problem.
