Title: Vacuum take off
Post by: europa88 on Wednesday,July 28, 2021, 06:55:17 AM

Hi does anyone know what the thread size and type is on the vacuum take off on a Dellorto inlet manifold?
I have removed the brake booster and want to blank it off neatly (I currently have a short bit of hose and a bolt with worm drive clips

most likely 1/8 bsp as thats been industry std for many years on servo take offs, just a bit bigger than 3/8 at 0.383" od, taper plugs are easily available.
