David,
See if a #10 or #8 machine thread works. It is one of these, but I don't r=
emember which. I always buy new bolts and lock washers from the hardware s=
tore for carb top covers. You can buy stainless. And it doesn't cost as m=
uch.
My friend had metric size bolts holding his carb tops on his TR8. I suspec=
t that was because a previous owner put them in because they were close in =
size and he just forced them in because they were into aluminum.
What are you referring to for damper 0-rings? If you are referring to the =
tiny one at the bottom of the dashpot that holds the dashpot oil around the=
metering needle, then yes that is a standard size o-ring that you can buy.=
The o-ring around the fuel reservoir plug is standard and can be bought t=
oo.

Subject: [TR] ZS 175 carbs
I worked on the carbs on my 1976 TR6 this weekend, one of the needle adjust=
ments screws moved and I was able to lean the carb I needed for some improv=
ement. A couple of questions, does anyone know the specs on the screws hol=
ding the top cover to the body of the carb? Someone (not me - honest) bugg=
ered them up and I had to cut a slot on one to back it out. I would like t=
o just replace them all. Moss has them at $1.89 apiece but that seems a bi=
t much. I had a couple of screws in my loose screw bin that looked correct=
but did not seem to fully thread into the carb body and I didn't want to f=
orce them and ruin the threads. Also, if the damper o-rings are a standard=
size that I can pick up at a local FLAPS instead of ordering them, i would=
appreciate knowing the specs on those as well.
Thanks
