   I am out right at the moment and it is real expensive to make just
   2 on an NC lathe.
   The biz is starting to pick up again but it will be six months or a
   year before
   it is fiscally possible to make a bunch more on an NC lathe.

   I can hand make two of them for you for $25 dollars each.

   Go on the Lamar Instruments web site and make a $50 donation

   What is the thread? Could you use a short cap screw of say 1/2"
   length and drill a hole in the
   center and Siler solder or braze a short tube that has a small lip
   on it?

   Paul and All,

    Double check the thread for the oil injector hole fittings.........I have used short 86-91 RX7 torque converter
   to flex-plate bolts to plug these holes........If I remember correctly they are 10 mm x  1.25 thread.......FWIW

   I think you screwed up the threads :-) A metric 1.0 is real close to a metric 1.25
   It is easy to screw the wrong metric thread into aluminum :-)

   For the rx8 (not sure on others), I can confirm the oil injector holes are 1.25thread.
   I also checked the machines pressure tap fittings and they are 1.25 aswell.
   Buy some m10x1.25 10mm length, drill a hole and weld a barb or AN fitting.

Paul,
Could you make the taps from a regular banjo fitting? You could silver solder the end of the bolt shut an use a jet drill to size the orifice to the size needed. You could even get one with an AN fitting on it to plumb into your system.


Look up a 997631ERL on summit racing. That and the bolt and washers should work.
