Hi,
Does anybody know what the thread size of the Fuel Banjo (856107) fitted to the Solex PAI 44 carburettor is please?

I noticed I have a small weep from the fitting and despite new crush washers it won’t tighten and it looks like the thread is worn.
I need to repair using a heli-coil kit but need the thread size.
I can probably make a temporary repair using something like Loctite 577 but probably a heli-coil or bushing would be best for the long term.
Thank you.
 
I did this job beginning of summer on mine M10-1.0 and also used new banjo bolt.
I used a drill press with carb top clamped to tilted drill table,.Set the stop to prevent drilling too deep. Be very careful
 
Many thanks for that I just wasn’t sure but I seem to recall it was 10mm fine but couldn’t remember if it’s a 1 or 1.25.
Banjo bolts are cheap in comparison so I will order new ones as well.
