I have a noisy leak between one of the exhaust manifolds and the downpipe.
I ordered a new one, and got 5 or 6 in a plastic bag.
Is one enough, or should I use several to try snd match the height of the downpipe, or how
does it work?

One is enough. The down pipe will pull up to meet the manifold.
Be cautious removing the nuts, as the studs have been known to break.
Or, if the studs are too long you could always use brass pipe thread adapters as spacers, like the DPO did.
I’m hoping there are donuts in there, since there certainly aren’t any sandwich gaskets.
Donuts….?
Where and look like??
He means the E-Type style.
You want this.
Peder, I think I have seals like that at home if you are in urgent need. If I understand correctly your place is only 1H drive from me outside Lund.

That is a really pretty car you have
Thank you.
If you’re using a single exhaust you could have a problem with how the two were welded. On one I recently tried to use (Bell) the two flat surfaces were not aligned at all well. If you try to use the later round seal you may have to replace your exh manifolds with ones having a chamfer for it.
Twin exhaust from manifolds to tailpipes.
Should I use a tube based sealant in addition to the gaskets?
Nope, new gaskets properly fitted to clean surfaces is all you need. Try and source/use BRONZE manifold nuts, with brass a second choice if you can’t find bronze, but definitely not steel
Might be hard to find nuts in Sweden, the thread is 3/8"-24 UNF. Maybe try one of the UK sources.
