Andrew, The Hollow bolts and fittings on top of the fuel distributor are 8mm and so are the copper washers. The other larger connections to the side are 12mm. The only other size is the 10mm on the Warm up regulator with a 8mm on the other end on top of the fuel dist. If you don't find them let me know. As for lining up, you don't have to, that's why they are banjo fittings and banjo hollow bolts.

In so doing, I had to remove the fuel line that connects to the left side of the distributor (as one faces it from the rear). I *think* this is the line going to the CPR, but I'm not sure. Anyway, when I popped it out, I heard something small and metal fall through the engine (but not reach the ground, of course). Finding one copper washer on the bolt, I am assuming that what I heard was probably an identical copper washer from the other side of the fitting. Could someone verify this for me? Obviously I need to replace these when I put the fuel line back in. Does anyone know offhand what size this is? I can obvously take the one I've got to a parts store, but it would be easier if I knew exactly which one to get. Hey John Hervey... I was checking out your site to see if you happened to have the sizes, and was reading up on your fuel pump fault symptoms. For a while now, I've noticed a buzzing/humming noise coming from the front of my cabin. As the voltage oscillates at idle, the humming increases and decreases its frequency. This noise is louder than it used to be. I've also recently started noticing some knocking under load when the engine is hot. Do you think it's about time for me to pull the fuel pump and put in a fresh one? Aside from the filter, is there anything else you'd recommend replacing at the same time? -andrew To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to: DMCForum-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- -- Yahoo!
