Default Bolt dimensions for AIR eliminator please...

Building AIR eliminator for myself (and maybe for others). Much thanks to BritVette for basic plans.

I would very much appreciate it if anyone can tell me the size and pitch of the threads that the eliminator uses. The threads I need are the ones tapped into the driver side cylinder head.

Even if you only know SAE or Metric that would be a nice start as I want to have a selection available before I pull everything apart.

Thanks,

-Z

Oh - and when you get my E-Mail, you can more or less ignore it, all the info I know is at this address.

Incidentally I have done about 6000 miles with this thing with no probs, and it feels asa solid as a rock, no flex at all, so you should be OK to go with this - AND IT IS CHEAP!!!

John -

You are the greatest!

Damned if those don't look like Chevy starter bolts. If the pitch is, in fact, 16tpi, that would make them SAE fine. I will give a report when I finish.

But now, I'm off to find some aluminum.

Pics when available...
