I'm installing carbs and want to cap off my return line into the bottom of the tank. Can someone give me the type of fitting or method you used. Thanks Mike

I think, but I may be wrong, that its 18*1.0 metric threads...not sure though.
Why not get a cap nut from McMaster Carr. Or, I think JWest (James Adams) may have a solution for this http://www.jwesteng.com/porsche/ Its not on his site but email him...he used to carry fittings to go from the stock nut to AN lines...so he may have something. rIch |
