I though it was BSPP on the fuel pump. 1/4" is the norm on the earlier rear tank cars
Flange seal with fibre washer.
I would be suprised if a Ruby was any different from the earlier cars with a rear tank.
The oil pressure take of is 1/8" BSPP for comparison.
My car is 1/4" BSPP to 5/16" copper pipe. 1933/34

Many cars have been fitted with much later pumps. Without burrowing in the bsaement to check, were these ANF/UNF as postwar zenith carbs?
