Thanks Jack. The screwheads were so buggered, I did not realize that they =

The screws holding the top cover on the carb are M5 0.8 - I measure 12.4 mm=

The correct screws are unthreaded at the very top where the lock washer sit=

The fitted washer and the pozidrive head are big advantages IMHO. I=E2=80=

David,

My friend had metric size bolts holding his carb tops on his TR8. I suspec=

What are you referring to for damper 0-rings? If you are referring to the =

The o-ring around the fuel reservoir plug is standard and can be bought t=

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. =20
Thanks
