Thanks! Your truck looks awesome I’ll bet it turns a lot of heads in the U.K.! I love your country, went there for the first time 2 years ago, Bath was my favorite! I took my manifold to specialty fastener shop and they helped me find the bolts with the proper pitch and thread. If the manifold is off the truck, this is by far the easiest route. I also used copper antiseize and copper washers. I’ve read a post from datzenmike using brass plumbing plugs from Home Depot (Common American hardware store). I’m sure U.K. has something comparable, or would be easy to order online.
