Hey guys, was just wondering if anyone knows the size/pitch of the threads on the top of our fuel pins. Was thinking about making my own.

 

Why not use the pitch and thread of ur choosing?

 

Or a thread pitch gauge?

 

pretty sure it's 1.25 thread pitch. I think for $15 you can get a new one with a 6mm or 8mm head instead of a slot for a screwdriver. It is slightly longer I'm told (IC trucks seem to bottom out before runaway, and there is no collar on them. Do a search and teh PN will show Up. I've seen it a few times.

 

I think he is asking about the fuel cone, he wants to make one he can grind down like some of the guys are selling on here.

Like Crazy Matt said since your going to make your own why not make it the way it's easiest for you. If you have access to a lathe and mill and the right material it will still be a chore. I think the fuel pins i've seen on here for sale are cheap compared to trying to make one from scratch unless it's a thing of just wanting to say you can do it too. Good luck.

Thanks! Can't believe you, of all people would give that info away. I would have thought you would give me a price tag instead. I still don't know if i will make one or buy one yet though. I really wouldn't know how much to mill away unless I really played with it. I have to see if my lathe will turn those threads, or if I have a threading die first. Thanks again!

 

No prob man. Ill help whenever I can.....

 

for something that small, just do it with a die. And you can make any sized one you want really, like already said.
