This is for a 1946 HD UL with the cast iron, 3 valve pump. I need to replace the pump inlet fitting where the feed line enters the pump from the oil tank. Current fitting has very worn threads and the end that is tapered is shortened. When I thread the feed line all the way onto fitting, it is a loose fit, so that the flared end of oil line does not seat on the inlet fitting.
Colony makes a replacement fitting, part 2374-1 (also V-Twin 40-0512). The replacement fitting has 7/16-20 straight threads with an internal hex for installation. I understand the replacement method is to angle-grind off the old fitting and then drill the old hole with 25/64 bitand tap it.
Does anyone have any experience doing this replacement and any suggestions or tips?
Thanks
