screw in bottom plugs
nicks442:
After reading Cliff's book I think I may try this on my next carb rebuild, what style and size tap do you use.
What is the best epoxy to use.
Thanks
Nick
Cliff Ruggles:
We just put together a screw in plug set, but haven't listed it yet for sale, it will be in our new catalog when we get it finished. $2 for the set, you will need a 10-32 and 7/16-18 tap to install the plugs.
We use Marine Tex epoxy on the plugs, it is a permanent repair....Cliff

Good idea to put together a set with the right plugs! Isn't it possible to also include a little epoxy so I don't have to look for that in stores? Now I only need to remember to put this set on my shopping list ;D
Greetings Peter
Cliff Ruggles:
We're working on it. Right now we only have the plugs in stock, we plan on including the taps and the epoxy at some point.....Cliff

One more question Cliff
The carbs are 1966 7026250 & 7026254, the plugs are over 7/16 in size and the casting looks thin, can I use a 1/2-20 tap and make some plugs or will I break the casting.
thanks for your help.
