Fuel pump thread

Post by rbgosling »

Does anyone know what the thread size is for the hoses in/out of the fuel pump? I’ve bought an aftermarket pump and need to source some adaptors to connect it up. I’ve already managed to buy the wrong ones once (right for the pump, wrong for the hoses) so don’t want to make the same mistake again!

Found it - Thanks!

1/4” BSP apparently - I’d managed to order 3/8” BSP, which explains why they were a little on the big side.
