    Thread size please?

    Please can anyone tell me off hand what the thread size is for flywheel studs on the crank flange for 350? Two holes stayed open for a few months and one stud won't go all the way in now so I need to chase the thread. Thought it's 7/16 but it's not. Thanks.

    Fuel return line

    Original clear plastic fuel return line was disconnected from the carb side, too stiff and appears to be 1" too short so I need to replace it. What should I use for this? Sorry if the question is too dumb. Thanks.

    Cheap starter?

    I was wondering if anybody bought a starter from DBElectrical: Starters, Alternators and more for Cars, Trucks, Tractors and ATVs. I believe I've seen a thread a while ago mentioning this vendor but can't find it. Any input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    I need to replace a few snaps on a boat cover and make a few custom length snap extensions. Different sizes available right here on iBoats but how do I know what size snaps to order? Can anybody tell me where to measure the snap to get the size? Thanks.
