Austin K9

INFO WANTED

Does anyone know what the banjo bolt tread size is on the Zenith carburettor on an Austin K9?
And more importantly, any ideas where to get one please?
Friend has just bough a K9 presumably complete but partly dismantled.
The ‘magic ‘ box of nuts, bolts, washers etc has gone missing in transit. Looking for the banjo bolt that holds the fuel feed pipe to float bowl.
Any help greatly appreciated.

I would try Burlen Fuel Systems as they now produce parts and repair kits for the Zenith carbs.

Might be a metric thread .... ? If You can measure the thread pitch , it maybe 1mm or 1.25mm or 1.5mm. My S1 Land Rover Solex carby has a banjo bolt fitting. If your really stuck somebody with a lathe could turn up a bolt and thread it . You can also try gently threading a known bolt into the carby .
