Exhaust Manifold Studs

[5atmo]

Strange infuriating cars these 5's can be. Driving the other day and started to hear an exhaust blow. By the time I got home car sounded like a tank.

Looked under the bonnet and 3 of the exhaust manifold studs were missing! Can only assume that they decided to work themselves loose after all this time. If I had wanted to take them out they would be seized!

Anyway, any ideas where I can get some new ones? Are they specially heat resistant or could I use stainless steel studs and bolts?

thanks in advance.

they are normal mild steel. all you really need to know is thread size and bolt length
