Default those 2 holes are

Dale, those 2 holes are for the engine stabiliser rods. They go between the bell housing and the hull.
7/16" dia

Default Conduit colour?

Dale, I thought I would wait until you had painted and installed your conduit before I asked the question of what finish is the conduit done in?
I was looking at a factory pic and it looks more black than Khaki #3.
Just a thought!

Can some one tell me the thread size in the holes on the solenoid block on the engine rail. I can't find the correct bolt so need to clean out thread ? Dale

Dale the threads are going to be BA, which is why you are having trouble finding bolts to fit.
I think all the LP2 and LP2A carrier theads, smaller than 5/16 dia. are all BA. Lets see what the others say?
