Anyone know the thread spec for 1963B early fuel pump discharge port? M12 x 1.5?

Re: Fitting Thread Spec for early B Fuel Pump
Conrad, if this is a banjo fitting, you need to be careful. The bolt appears as if it is interchangeable with the banjo bolt on the Zenith carbs and it is NOT; the thread pitch is different.
The carb parts used to have a "V" stamped into the head ("vergasser"), but that ended at some time or other. I'm not where I can check right now, but that 1.5 pitch rings bells as the carb bolt.

Ron,
It is a banjo thread...why I am being careful. Can anyone confirm M12 or M14?

I'm certain is is m12, since the wrong bolt has been threaded (forced) into both the carb tops and the fuel pumps; equally certain the pitch is different.

Bruce Smith's article from July/Aug 2015 states the hollow bolt for the DVG fuel pump is a 12 x 23 x 1.5 whereas the carb hollow bolt is the same except for a 1.25 pitch. I've made the mistake of interchanging them incorrectly once.
