David,

See if a #10 or #8 machine thread works.  It is one of these, but I don't r=
emember which.  I always buy new bolts and lock washers from the hardware s=
tore for carb top covers.  You can buy stainless.  And it doesn't cost as m=
uch.

My friend had metric size bolts holding his carb tops on his TR8.  I suspec=
t that was because a previous owner put them in because they were close in =
size and he just forced them in because they were into aluminum.

What are you referring to for damper 0-rings?  If you are referring to the =
tiny one at the bottom of the dashpot that holds the dashpot oil around the=
 metering needle, then yes that is a standard size o-ring that you can buy.=
  The o-ring around the fuel reservoir plug is standard and can be bought t=
oo.

I worked on the carbs on my 1976 TR6 this weekend, one of the needle adjust=
ments screws moved and I was able to lean the carb I needed for some improv=
ement.  A couple of questions, does anyone know the specs on the screws hol=
ding the top cover to the body of the carb?  Someone (not me - honest) bugg=
ered them up and I had to cut a slot on one to back it out.  I would like t=
o just replace them all.  Moss has them at $1.89 apiece but that seems a bi=
t much.  I had a couple of screws in my loose screw bin that looked correct=
 but did not seem to fully thread into the carb body and I didn't want to f=
orce them and ruin the threads.  Also, if the damper o-rings are a standard=
 size that I can pick up at a local FLAPS instead of ordering them, i would=
 appreciate knowing the specs on those as well.
Thanks
