Hi all,
Does anyone know where I can get hold of some replacements for the studs and nuts that hold the inlet trunking / plastic pancake onto the carb. I've had two cross threaded, so it's only being held on by one at the moment.
I've attached a photo in case I haven't described it well.
Hopefully the photo works!
Thanks in advance.

Re: Inlet Trunking /Pancake Studs
you can buy standard studding and cut it to length with a hacksaw, usually comes in 1m lengths, can't remember if it's M5 or M6 but just measure the diameter
it's what people do when they fit LPG with mixer rings as they need longer studs.

Re: Inlet Trunking /Pancake Studs
usual procedure when cutting studding (if you didnt know) is run a nut on, cut it with a junior hacksaw is best for that smaller size as its a finer cut, clean up with a file then run the nut off, if you dont run a run on the thread first you can find it hard to get on, the nut, when it comes off, makes sure the thread is clean on the end.
if you go on ebay and type M6 studding ( check it's m6) you can but much shorter lengths quite cheap.
