PINTO inlet manifold

Not using a servo,so just put a rubber bung over the outlet from manifold.

thought i'd make good this part with a bolt or the likes,but whats the thread size ? anybody done this ?

It looks like a 1/4 BSP taper thread but could be SAE,any clues appreciated

Hi Bob

If its the same manifold as burtons its 1/4" NPT

I just filled mine with JB Weld

Hope this helps

Go to a plumbers merchant and get a brass hex headed bung for 50p?

if you unscrew the vac pipe from the manifold, you can cut the nut off the pipe, weld it closed, and screw it back on. then its easily reversible if you want to add a servo later! if you need a bolt then i guess you must've unscrewed it closer to the engine than me, mine left a thread protruding rather then a hole.
