What pray tell is the right size for the bolt which attaches the TC carb To the inlet Manifold. I am missing two and the markings on the two I have indicate British origin. However, They seem to be very close to 10 x 1.50mm. Moss wants $8.00 ea, so they must be pretty weird. Thanks

Larry,

On the TABC web technology web site is a listing of all engine bolts used.
http://mg-tabc.org/techn-up/fasteners.htm

According to that the Carb to manifold bolt is:
10 - 1.5MM 3/4" in length, 5/16W bolt head size
Original part number was LA7153 and a Moss number of 320-510

If you don't mind not having a Whitworth size head on it you can go to your
local hardware or automotive supply store for one I would think.

hi Larry - if you want the proper head, I can make them for you. As Dave
Edgar says, you can use standard modern metrics, but the larger heads make
life a little more difficult. Or you can do as I do, and use 3/8" BSF, they
are after all only clamping two flanges together.

PS hurricane Katrina looks bad enough on TV, so cannot imagine what its like
to be there, and lose everything. Now the death toll looks likely to be
several thousand...
