I believe they are 1/4" nominal ... the one I grabbed out of a Payen gasket
set measures .247" with my cheap calipers.
Don't know much about TR7s, but I know the folks using Webers say to use
soft mounts. Apparently the engine vibration stirs the fuel up so much that
it's difficult to get consistent mixture with hard mounts. Might be Triumph
had the same problem ...
