Default Urgent! Please help a mate...

We need to know the thread size of a Fiesta RS Turbo or XR2i fuel rail, so it can take an Aeroquip fitting using -6 hose. He really wants to get his car to National Day, and at this rate, this will stop it.



If anybody knows, please help us out

Also TT the connection is a mushroom type of thing.

Can't really explain it but can get you photos tonight if you need them.

The fuel rail has a domed disc in it and the fuel pipe has a connector on the end with a raised dome/button on it that located and seals.

Matt.

I think its M16x1.5, can anyone confirm this?? Obviously the Fuel Rail is Concave seating, so the fitting will be Convex.
