I see a #10 UNF x =C2=BD=E2=80=9D listed with the valve but not sure if =
that is correct.

Sunbeam Parts Lists are available online.

Check the OD of the threads =E2=80=93 a table I have indicates #10 UNF =
24 TPI  OD =3D .190=E2=80=9D

=20

For British cars you need UNF tap and dies =E2=80=93 SAE tap and dies =
will cut metal because they are slightly different.

=20

If you have extra bolts =E2=80=93 I like to cut grooves down the threads =
to make a thread chaser to clean out the threads.

=20

For any stuck bolts use penetrating oil or ATF, let them soak overnight =
if needed.

Hope that helps

Does anyone happen to know the bolt size for the 2 bolts that are used =
between the valve itself and the pipe flange (with the mounting bracket =
sandwiched in between, photo below)?

=20

The look like maybe 12-24, but I don=E2=80=99t have a tap or die to =
confirm that ...

=20

It appears as though the leak in mine is caused because the seal between =
these two has perished, but so has one of the bolts!  Going try =
replacing it with a small donut ring to see if that cures the issue.

Cheers in advance,
