Carb float bowl fixing bolt/threads
Posted: Sun Sep 18, 2005 2:36 am
Today started well. Mine was one of approx 107 TCs attending the 60th
anniversary function in Melbourne Australia. After this event I decided
to venture further afield. At the furthest point from home, I noticed a
smell of petrol and a slight drip from the rear carb. When i tightened
the fixing bolt for the float bowl, the threads gave way. Now--the
question--I have inserted coils to repair threads in other alloy parts
on the car. Is there anything special about this one or is the process
similar? I make the size to be 7/16 BSF. Am I right?
