Can anyone let me know where I can get a hold of some fittings to connect the manometer to the vacuum ports. According to Clymer they are 4mm but I think they are a 5mm thread

You can buy them from Z1 enterprises or make them from some thick walled brass or aluminum tube. You will need the right size die so you can thread the pieces of tube.

Yes, they are 5mm. You can get the accessory fittings from Motion Pro at Z1 Enterprises or get the ones from TecMate.

It's easy to make your own. Dril down though a screw and epoxy in some tubing.

Home made adapters
Hey thanks for the advice on the home made adapters. I don't have a drill press at home and tried to drill out a metric ss fastener but broke two drill bits. I can do it in the shop at work though. ThanksComment
