An 'arris has it's own collars for some reason. The standard zorst has finned collars. I've got a feeling that I tried to use the standard collars with my first Zed when I fitted a new 'arris, but they wouldn't work.

NO its NOT the ONLY way :!:
I got some thinner manifold clamps made up. The std finned clamps are quite thick where they go over the studs :shock:
Not the easiest route though :roll:
And on the 7th day... Zeds were created!
