Gents, finally getting around to finishing the stainless exhaust system on the MGB V8 conversion, Chimaera engine + R380 et al. However, I'm really struggling to find a supplier of the correct lambda probe boss M12x1.25. Could one of you kind fellows point me in the right direction...can be 304 or 316 grade. Thank you, V8250

Why worry about a boss- cant you just cut a nut in half? Im sure that would be easier to find.

Thanks Guys, am already thinking along these lines...though, ideally wanting a nicely shouldered boss.

how about a flange nut or half nut, with a nice bead of weld round it would look good

Guys, thanks for all your help. In the end gave Racetech Direct a call, from whom I bought the OEM sensors, and they've had two made for me; should arrive Monday. Should any TVR folk need some their number is 01491.629219.
