Banjo size?

What size of NPT are the banjos? Are they 1/4&quot; NPT or 3/8&quot;?<br><br>Working on a new fuel system and need to know the thread size to order fittings. 8) I could take one out but if someone knows it would save some time. <br><br>Thanks<br>DB<br><br>

I dont really understand what you are saying but ask ROD at WILDCAT. I'm sure he knows and sells all that stuff.

I'm pretty sure its metric. Not positive on the size though. Maybe 12x.150.

They're not pipe thread if I remember when I changed mine out, they're closer to a standard bolt thread.

Don't know the size either, but knowing the job the banjo's do it cannot be a NPT which has a tapered thread. It has to be a straight thread. As KATOON said, probably metric.

Re:Banjo size?

KATOOM was almost right... they're M12 X 1.5. The holes (4) in the stock banjos are ~.125&quot;

Re:Banjo size?

Just rember one thing your whole fuel system is only as big as the smallest hole . from a engineering point of view.<br> in other words ,is dose not help to increase the size if you leave just one item small or stock.

As well as reduced inner Diam on the sweeps.
