Fuel rail fittings???

furryeggs - 19/4/16 at 08:52 PM

I'm struggling to find fuel fittings for mr alluminium fuel rail on my spaced R6 TB's. I got them off someone on here but cant remember who( flak monkey i yhink, but he's not replying to my u2u.

M16 is to small
M18 is to big
5/8" tapered hose tails doesn't quite fit propally (2 threads max)

any ideas?

theres a picture in my photo archive i think? or on my "tiger build so far" thread.

Sounds like it could be an6 which would be 9/16 thread

M16 is bigger than that though. Maybe 11/16.

Edit.. 5/8 is tight but M16 too small? That doesn't seem to add up.

i have 5/8 brass fuel fittings, they start off ok for 2-3 turns then stop, threads look the same, they are tapered though so maybe thats it? I can't find straight cut fin 5/8 anywhere.

Well it turns out my fittings are 3/8x19, my brass 5/8 fittings are actually 3/8 straight cut.
