Works 76mm DP question

Ok this may be a stupid question but going to ask just in case. I lost a downpipe bolt. I come to find out that you can't use the stock bolts. So ordered a kit from Works. I got the sleeves and the washers also got a few extra parts I don't remember seeing on the car when I had the DP off. I have a stock 02 housing... So I have this flange, donuts gasket and another gasket. I am not sure how it fits. Hard to explain here are the pics. Right now I have an OEM donut gasket on there.

it is to fit onto the works o2 housing since it is larger diameter than the stock o2 housing

The kit should come with 2 bolts and 2 thick washers.

The stock donut is not needed if you're using the stock O2 housing since you'll be using the gold ring adapter. Stock donut will not fit in the gold ring adapter. The thin round gasket will replace the stock donut.

So What was stated above is false then? If I am using the Stock 02 housing then i have to use this adapter and donut gasket? I am using the stock one and it seems to fit fine. hmmm.

I don't know what you mean by "it seems to fit fine" since there is no way the stock donut will fit inside the inner diameter of the adapter. The instruction states that the thin round gasket goes between the stock O2 housing. The carbon thingy that is wrapped around the gold adapter will serve as your new donut.

Ok so I feel like a total retard. You would think after swapping out my trans I would be able to install a damn downpipe... Anyway. I yanked the DP off and was like I don't see that flange. Well I pulled down on the 02 housing and it came off. And the donut gasket that was on there was shot.. Also no gasket around the 02 housing so glad I replaced all the hardware and put everything back on.

Thanks everyone and thanks for not flaming me to hard. man i feel stupid. Facepalm.
