Now everyone has my curiosity peaked. 10-32 and M5-0.8 are very close in s=
ize
10-32 is slightly smaller. So if the actual size is M5-0.8, then the 10-32=
fits easily.
So the actual size on all ZS carbs is M5-0.8. Interesting. Just learned s=
omething new!
So are all the other screw threads in a ZS M5 also?

If you have standard thread screws holding the dashpot covers on the Stromb=
erg carbs in your Stag - that could explain why they are hard to come out. =
;-)
I just pulled one out of a Stag carb and in turns quite easily into an M5 0=
.8 thread checker. Since this came up today, I=92ve done the same with TR6 =
carbs, TR7 carbs, TR8 carbs, and some new screws I pulled out of the bag th=
ey came from Moss in. They all have the same part number and they are all M=
5 0.8. Same part number for all CD 175s and the CD 150s on GT6s
I did not know this until it came up today - I=92ve always ordered the corr=
ect part - after rebuilding hundreds of these carbs, I knew they weren=92t =
SAE, but I always figured they were Whitworth or British Standard - or some=
thing odd like that - I was as surprised as anybody when they turned easily=
into an M5 0.8 thread checker.
If you still don=92t believe me, I can send pictures.
Cheers,

David,
See if a #10 or #8 machine thread works. It is one of these, but I don't r=

My friend had metric size bolts holding his carb tops on his TR8. I suspec=

What are you referring to for damper 0-rings? If you are referring to the =

The o-ring around the fuel reservoir plug is standard and can be bought t=

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
