Unless you are lucky enough to have Weber carbs. and they are still metric. The carbs are fastened to the engine w/ 5/16 unf nuts. Then there are 'O' rings that are AN sizes. I don't have the numbers at my desk at this moment, but I can produce them if needed.

ALL screw threads on Elans are UNC, UNF or BA, so none of your metric ones are not used at all.

Invest in Brian Bucklands book - he gives a comprehensive list of fasteners towards the back of book.

You will be amazed at the cost of buying the requisite nuts, bolts and washers incurred!

I can supply the required items at very reasonable cost.

The pivot for the timing chain is not unified nor going into head next to Thermostat.
