Finally the hex sizes are different but contrary to popular belief, it is NOT the head size that determines whether a fastener is Whitworth or not, it is in fact the thread pitch angle of 55 degrees (as previously stated). </div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div><br></div><div>Curt </div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Feb 9, 2020 at 5:52 PM Bob Spidell <<a href="mailto:bspidell@comcast.net">bspidell@comcast.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

There's no olives on my BJ8 pump--I've changed it out many
times--and I don't recall one on my BN2, either (and I don't see one
in the Moss catalog). Where does this olive go?<br>

made a new fuel line for my Mk1 BT7 from 5/16" copper
nickel tubing. I am having trouble finding the proper
olive and nut to connect to the fuel pump. Picture
attached. Based on measurements of the olive and nut for
the fuel line between the pump and the tank the size is
BSPP 1/4" x 5/16". I am not completely familiar with BSPP
fittings but I know they have their own unique seat angle
which is why I don't want to mix and match.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
