hi all

trying to fit a set of cdf fuel rails to my car

long story short on cylinder 3 by the turbo the fuel rail fitting when i have my 90 elbow on is touching the compressor housing so need to shorten it with a 90 that comes straight from the fuel rail as opposed to a straight reducer down to an-6 and then a 90 elbow

im trying to identify the thread in the fuel rail though and cant confirm exactly as to whether it is 3/8 bspp or 9/16 unf can anyone enlighten me?

i could mill a few mm off the end of fuel rail but clearance would still be tight and i dont want things expanding and cracking when warm so i think i tighter elbow is my best bet...or a banjo but i dont want to restrict flow in any way???

anyone else have any other recommmendations?

cheers

 

ring and ask CDF ?

 

when they are open i will haha

didnt know if anyone else had had the same problem!

 

its 3/8 bspp for anyone interested iv just worked it out and confirmed it

looks like i will have to mill the fuel rail though/take a chunk out of the compressor housing because as far as i can tell you cannot buy a 3/8bspp 90 an-6 fitting in alloy or make any combo of it up in forged fittiings!

 

Why not use a banjo connection with -6, if you mill to much off the end your internal thread connector will start to cover over the supply to the injector.

 

I have not seen a 3/8 bspp banjo bolt available in torques or anywhere else for that matter

Milling looks like easiest option and its free and wont compromise anything else i dont think

Im gonna get in touch with torques to confirm that that is my only option though first!

 

Just looked in Earls, 3/8 bsp banjo bolt 28mm long part No 1012-

 

Inwas actually wrong

Cdf just 100% confirmed its a 9/16 unf fitting so i can get what i need online easily!

Cheers
