Here is a photo of a head I have. One stud is missing but all look the same length?  On the inlet they vary on this head. I cannot measure as currently in France.

Hi

I have a photo I should be able to find and have a spare head at home which I can measure when I get back, but that will be approx 3 weeks.

Thanks for the tips Mark & Nigel - I was planning on walking into the Frost Restorations warehouse with the fuel tank to ask about the likelyhood of fuel line blockages. I had planned on blocking the filler pipe and float sender holes with a cork bung from a beer maker with a rubber glove to give a good seal whilst the goop gets sloshed around. I hadn't considered that it might be able to find the threads on the sender ring though so great tip. I'll see if I can find a can of compressed air to clear the small lines once treated though, great tip!

Won't be happening for a week or so though, away from Friday and still got half the top surface and sides to clear of corrosion which may be covering/finding pinholes soon.

And grease the fuel sender mount 'floating' ring thingy and tape/grease the studs before you put the sealer in - ask me how I know...........

Hello, Tried to reply to an older thread but it suggested to start a new one.

I have 1800 beta coupe motor.

Looking for the sizes (lengths mostly) of the exhaust studs. I have heard that there are Allen head ones that people have used to make the task less laborious?

Are they all different lengths? And which position is the different lengths? (Drivers to passengers would be great, Australia RH Drive)

Could anyone please kindly help here?  Maybe someone knows where to locate in Australia? Or OS is ok too?

Many thanks!

Guy,
Just after you've used the tank sealer, I suggest that you blow
through all the pipework, especially the small vent tube/s,
for obvious reasons!

Good luck, excellent progress,

Cheers

I did the MB museum last year. They don't shy away from Germany's past!

Looking good you should be well on this year with getting it back together

Peter

Well done!
