Thanks to Triple S for the injector head.
Using it for carbs. I have seen cover plates which bolt over the old injector port and use the original injector bolts. Anyone got any left or point me in the right direction. |

£1 coins fit but need thinning to be flush. Some JB weld to hold in place. You can then make some plates to fix over them and screw into the head.

Notwithstanding legalities around defacing legal tender, I believe that there are small (7/8 " I think) casting plugs / freeze plugs that will fit nicely in the injector port to seal it off. A bit fiddly trying to tap such a small plug with a ball peen hammer so best to back up the fit it with something like some Loctite sleeve mounting compound. If you are paranoid you can tap the port and use a flush (allen key type) NPT pipe plug to seal off the port. However, big NPT pipe taps are a little pricey if you can't borrow one. The pipe plug has the hugely important advantage that it looks professional - like it is supposed to be there as opposed to something cobbled up. Last edited by 142 Guy; Jul 26th, 2020 at 20:16. |

Just need to use Scottish £1 coins. Scottish money isn't legal tender in the UK. I jest as there are no Scottish £1coins. These were the old ones, need to check if new ones fit.

Love the coin discussion- euros may be an option! Unfortunately a few coming back from Spain currently.
I do like the covers with the cap bolts. Anyone got any spare? Or can point me in the right direction. |

There was a guy on the turbobricks forum that use to make that sort of thing I think. I just made mine. Maybe ask Simon at Brookhouse if he sells them.

Tried Brookhouse but no luck.
Fancy making some cover plates for me or sending a pattern? Regards |

I second the core plug & loctite method . Drive the core plugs home using a suitable sized punch or even a socket & extension , you are only tapping lightly not driving out bearings

I just made mine with a grinder and a hand drill. Used 5 or 6mm plate and just made them to what I thought looked right. Sorry I don’t have time to be making stuff for other folk, I can’t even get all my own stuff done.
