Rubber washers
#11
hm they look like a good idea for next time.
given that the banjo thread is M11 do you use a tight M10 (does that even fit) or a sloppy M12 or something imperial?

cheers
Andy

I use imperial ones Scott - see here for example: https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/362103952469?ch...1319352903

I also use them for scuttle tank fuel joints and SU banjos.

Thanks R, what size would I need and do you use sealant ?

Hi Scott,

1/4 BSP, if your banjo union bolt is that size.

I don't use any sealant on this type of washer

Ah sorry there I was thinking you meant the carburettor to manifold joint. My mistake.

I'm not very imperial Ruaridih, if I've read it correctly you measure the thread diameter which is half inch then subtract a quarter inch,  leaving quarter inch hence quarter BSP ? Does that sound about right,  think I should have gone to school 15 years earlier !!

I am no better qualified to tell you this Scott, metrification came in way before I was born - many on here will know for sure though.

I am fairly certain however, that the standard banjo union bolt is 1/4 bsp.

Apologies for the late reply.

I use the locking goo that is for the lightly loaded components like ordinary nuts and bolts.

Not "Stud Grade" or "Bearing Retainer", these achieve successively stronger bonds.

You don't want a strong bond, just sealing of the joint.
