[Roadsters] screw thread size for hitachi carbs

[Gary and Cindy Ault]

Rob,

I always thought they were a Whitworh Standard (English) thread, but the 
last time this question came up, I think I was told something different. 
Suffice it to say they're not SAE or metric.  Since these carbs are made 
under license from SU, and most of the parts are interchangeable, Moss 
Motors might be able to provide the right screws.  If Keith Olan is awake 
out there, he'll know.  Wait to see what you get back from others.  And, I'd 
like to know the answer if you get it directly (no copy to the List).
