Afternoon RTOCers.

I have for some reason unknown to my self am fed up of having little bit's of silicone with bolts in blocking off the ports that I'm not using in the carb top. So does anybody know that the thread size is in these so I can order a bolt for it. I've got a gaytec/GTtuning one can't remember which it is.

Good idea but I've just looked and cheap ones off ebay only have the one port and I use the two on the drivers side. plus are £45 with postage.
