Title: 48 IDA fuel inlets sizes Post by: chez2165 on February 17, 2012, 01:17:48 am I have a pair of IDA's with the fuel fitting currently fitted to the side of the carb but was considering swapping the fitting to the top of the carb for extra fan housing clearance and was wondering if the threads are the same size or not.
