Dumbass questions regarding my AFPR..

[TUFFTR]

I have a Malpassi fuel reg. Not old at all. Anyway, the 4 bolts holding it all together have rusted and look like ASS in my otherwise pretty damn clean engine bay!

Is it possible to remove these one by one or will I unsettle the gaskets in between them?
I just cant find an answer anywhere, and the company that makes them is italian.

Thought maybe one of the performance shop guys here would know...
This is it here..

Just looks like crap and I wanna replace em....but yeah if I take them out 1 at a time will I unseat internal gaskets? I don't think there is a visual component of warranty on this

Sorry to fill the forum with crap but I really don't know where else to ask.

"and the company that makes them is italian." That should have been your first clue. I once worked on a Maserati Quatraporte which had suffered a wiring fire. I quickly discovered that the car had been hand assembled by a number of craftsmen and no two of them wired things the same way. Identical circuits for dual fuel pumps in dual tanks were wired VERY differently.

But as for the fasteners, one at a time should be no problem. Just be absolutely sure the new fasteners are in fact identical threads/etc to the old ones. Based on my Maserati from hell, I wouldn't be surprised to find different size/thread fasteners.

Use a small clamp to clamp the side near the bolt. Remove the bolt and replace with a new SS one and torque it up. Repeat 3 more times

Sure is a nice TB!
And yes I did sir! It's an old photo above..
Been test fitting it and making sure other things work, unfortunately SSM didn't send me the required nuts and bolts etc which is fine, we all make mistakes, no-one's perfect, so they've been shipped out express and I should have them mid-way next week. Until then i cannot 100% bolt it down, strut brace is having clearance issues + need to refit the AFPR to the side again so yeah....for now the standard manifold will go back on if I need to drive it unfortunately.
