Changed the under-bonnet fuel hoses to SAE J30 R9. Not sure what was original, as a PO had changed mine to something already, but they had used 5/16th all the way, so very loose on the carb connections. Mk1 Stag, so there is a single pipe all the way from the pump to halfway up the front bulkhead - I don't have the short rubber sections under the boot floor and the bottom of the front bulkhead (see previous threads such as http://socforum.com/forum/showthread...the-Stag-today). I used 5/16 hose from the feed pipe to the filter, and on to a 5/16th brass tee, then to 2 brass 5/16 - 1/4 reducers, then 1/4 hose to each carb.
I think the standard set up has a rubber reducer 153300 to adapt from 5/16 to 1/4, but I was nervous about the standards of current rubber parts, particularly with the emphasis on having the right grade of rubber for fuel hose to resist attack from ethanol.

....... on to a 5/16th brass tee, then to 2 brass 5/16 - 1/4 reducers, then 1/4 hose to each carb........

When I renewed my fuel hoses ('73 Mk 1.5) the tee near to the carbs was x1 5/16" and x2 1/4" to the carbs. Less connections if you could source one?

Hi Dave It was fun, very tight very wet and very slippery. But First class job by Jim and some great tips for the seats. Worth the long trip.

Gave it it's first run out since getting back from Holiday - no apparent problems.
When got back fitted the "muffler" to the mike in the rear bumper, which will
hopefully improve the sound on future recorded outings by limiting wind noise.

Parked near me where I went to play snooker was a new white Dodge Challenger, 1st one
I've seen in Tenerife, but seen quite a few Mustangs here, and which I read about on ship
as having a very poor safety rating!.

just completed an uneventful 45 miles round North East Wales. Started first time after about a month of sitting idle.

Looking forward to April when I'm taking the hardtop off

now lets get those headlights sorted.........

I took mine to it's new garage. Took the plugs out, inspected them, put them back in.
Checked the vacuum at idle - 13"
Disconnected the battery, locked the garage, walked home.

Went to the breakfast club at Haynes motor museum, the only Stag there. There was a TR6 and a Dolomite in attendance.
