Just wondering is it true that you can use certain bolts from a diff for the plenum chamber? Im about to buy one without bolts, but i have a spare gearbox and diff. Is there enough bolts on one diff and gearbox?

Or just measure the length you need to go through the plenum chamber, and order some appropriate bolts for it. Thread into the carb is 5/16 UNC I believe.

You could tap the holes in the plenium M8 I think,Drill the holes in the carb bigger .Then you can bolt the plenum to the carb from the carb side....making it easier to remove and refit whilst it is in the car.

If they're 5/16 UNF in the beginning 8mm is not possible.

I cant see the problem with using metric threads, in fact the next engine i do i may well use metric all the way through it.

The problem with metric studs is that during hte next rebuid everything gets thrown in a pile, and when rebuilding you use the 8mm bolt a different place. We've all experienced this. If we stay imperial, this will never happen. :) On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:
