[Healeys] Manifold Drains

[Mark Goodman]

Dear Ray,

 

I found the correct fittings ( standard compression fitting for them) at a
HVAC Supplier and I believe the 1/8 Copper tubing also, but a good hobby
shop or well equipped Hardware Store should have a selection of Brass tubes
that would be 1/8".  I think I might have spare fittings and copper tubing
if you have trouble finding anything where you live.

List   I'm still working on those carbs.  I need a source for the drain

fittings on the bottom of the intake manifolds.  It has a 1/8" tube
compression fitting on one side and what looks to be a 3/8"-26 thread on the
other, where it screws into the manifold.  Is that a "British straight pipe"

size?  If so I could modify a US 1/4" tapered pipe thread fitting with a die
of the correct thread.  Any ideas guys??RegardsRay Juncal
