Looking for a bit of help with measuring some fitments that i'll need to get replacements for.
Of course im not expecting you to tell me what size they are from the images however it would be helpful is someone could show me what measurements I need in order to buy some replacements.

I guess i'll need thread pitch, thread diameter and host fitting diameter? Also the name of this type of fitting would help smile

I would call them a Hosetail. Usually sized by the thread and the internal diameter of the hose going on the other end.

Google 3/4 npt barb

Thread size needed and the barb will wither be a measurement (in or mm) or a fuel hose size (eg AN8 or dash8)

Cheers guys
Ordered some 3/8" x 8mm and 4mm fittings and will go about re-drilling and tapping the holes. As you can see from the smaller fitting it was cross threaded pretty badly but it seems the threads on the Inlet manifold that these go in to were pretty bad in the first place.
