Yes apologies I tried uploading the imperial measurement which was 0.315 inches which I believe is 5/15 as you suggested Tony. Thank you for that advice as that is definitely something I don't want to happen. I have tried that and got it red hot and it didn't pull out it just slightly deformed the flare end. The person i bought the boat from said it was a 2.5 but from what I have heard there is very little difference between the two so it may very possibly be a 2.2. If I use an inverted flare nut on the lift pump how will I then seal the banjo which is from the lift pump to the fuel filter by the thermostat housing, is it not easier to find a banjo bolt to suit? I have tried finding an "old boy" but they are getting harder to find unfortunately. thank you for this suggestion i will give them a call

Hello, I have a 2.5L BMC in a river boat. It was leaking oil from several places so have had to remove the intake manifold. In doing so I attempted to remove the throttle pipe when I did this rather than the nut turning around the pipe the pipe twisted and snapped (all happened instantly). Does anyone know what type of flare is on the this pipe or is it an insert? The pipe is 8.03mm on the Vernier's so is most likely 8mm. Also, does anyone know where I can get either the pipe with the flares on or the flares to braise into place from? The previous owner severely rounded the banjo bolt on the lift pump, I have removed it but it seems to be a weird size does anyone know what size it is and where i could get one from? Many thanks in advance Matt
