ArdWrknTrk Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 [...] I would see what the size on the tube on the banjo fitting is. Bill, your idea about a simple banjo swap strategy would be very simple. Something like this, with the good diameter and threads would be so easy! Brake banjos are usually 10mm/ 3/8" ID. You're looking for something 9/16 ID and 1/2- 20 x 5/16 inverted flare.

I take it you dont have the ability to do an -AN flare on the hardline right? If you do I would recommend that, you would just need a -6 tube nut and tube nut sleeve (fits 3/8" line) and flare it to -6 AN then it will fit the banjo fitting.

You got it, I am not equipped for tubing fitting/modification. And here, not easy to find specific threads tubes. That's why I need an easy "plug and play" solution. I am wondering about the banjo size, cannot find clear carburetor specs for that part on the web. Is 9/16" ID the right diameter for my new Holley Carb?

Final step done. Recap: 1- The new Holley Carb comes with a banjo, for rubber hose fitting. But original one was Female 1/2"-20 Inverted Fare ended, to screw with the rigid fuel pipe: 2- The easy solution (not satisfied about it): 3- The fittings solution [1/2-20 Inverted Flare F to -6AN Male] + [straight coupling -6AN F to -6 AN F] + [9/16 Banjo -6AN Male]: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
