mcintbg Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Can anyone help ? I have lost one of the nuts that bolt the carb to the manifold. They have a 13mm head, i have tried some i found in the garage but the thread is not right. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 (edited) The ones I have are metric fine. If you compare one of your others to a standard nut you'll notice the thread is more course. Either that or yours are imperial. 1/2" and 13mm look very similar Edited August 19, 2017 by Snowy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcintbg Posted August 19, 2017 Author Share Posted August 19, 2017 had a look on screwfix but they all look a bit corse not fine at all :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Just check that you want 8mm fine (8mm x 1mm). Standard 8mm is 8mm x 1.25. Without getting a thread gauge out I don't known. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
