BlueBDA Posted May 4, 2019 Posted May 4, 2019 I need new studs to mount my Dellorto DHLA 45 carbs to their manifolds. Can anyone recommend a source within the US? Looking online the only possibility I've found is CB Performance. They show lots of parts but I don't see the studs. Need to get them ASAP...
11Budlite Posted May 4, 2019 Posted May 4, 2019 Did you try calling them? They might not have it listed. You can also check with Pierce Manifolds. They're a Weber dealer but I would think the hardware would be very similar. Here: https://www.piercemanifolds.com/default.asp
BlueBDA Posted May 8, 2019 Author Posted May 8, 2019 Pierce Manifolds had the studs, and Thackery washers. Thanks so much.
John B Posted May 8, 2019 Posted May 8, 2019 Mcmaster-Carr should have everything you need. You just need to know the size and pitch of the threads. https://www.mcmaster.com/threaded-rods One of these is very handy as well. https://www.threadtoolsupply.com/wall-mounted-thread-checker.html
BlueBDA Posted May 8, 2019 Author Posted May 8, 2019 FYI I tried McMaster, and they didn't have what I need. Seems these items are specific to European carb mounting. Mcmaster-Carr should have everything you need. You just need to know the size and pitch of the threads. https://www.mcmaster.com/threaded-rods One of these is very handy as well. https://www.threadtoolsupply.com/wall-mounted-thread-checker.html
BlueBDA Posted May 8, 2019 Author Posted May 8, 2019 A bit more info for the record: Don't know why I didn't think of them to begin with, but Dave Bean Engineering has everything for this. They even have custom stainless studs that are machined specifically for this application with slightly larger diameter shafts to better locate and stabilize the carbs. The Dave Bean catalog, and Ken at Dave Bean, were both very helpful.
