Subject: Re: KI-Gas Pump Threads
Hi Mike,
I should have mentioned that it is the threads in the Ki-Gas pump body that are 5/16 BSB. Yes the larger pipe is the input from the fuel supply.
To solve your problem, you might want to modify something like a BSP union body to make up a new adaptor and then use a standard BSP solder nipple and nut on the pipe. Again, talk to Tracy Tools for the right BSB tap, and Vintage supplies (http://www.vintagecarparts.co.uk/) for the pipe fittings.
A Myford lathe would be ideal for this job...
By the way, I think the centralised lubrication fittings on LG45s are also BSB.
