TD5 fuel filter housing. Threads on fittings

[Psimpson7]

Does anyone know off the top of their head what the fitting threads are on the TD5 fuel filter housing.

I.e. where the 4 zinc plated unions are screwed into the housing?

[uninformed]

if no one chimes in, un screw one and vernier the OD of the male thread. Also see if you can count the threads per inch??? I have some thread pitch gauges in metric and SAE, but that wont help if its WW/BSP or any taper thread.

That's my back up plan, but I was hoping to avoid spilling diesel everywhere before I am sure I can do what I want.

The pic is just for reference. Mine is still on the car.

what skullbuggery have you got planned....

Recently I have smashed the fuel lines off the downstream side of the filter totally obliterating the connectors and everything, on 2 separate occasions.

I am hoping to move stuff around somewhat and use braided hose / screw on fittings everywhere. I was looking at brazing on some threaded bungs to the std connector tails to suit the -6 fittings of the braided hose, but if I can find something that screws in directly to the housing with the relevant thread it will halve the number of leak points.

Industrial Fittings Sales at Rocklea or Tony Powell Hose Supplies at Salisbury will have what you want.
