Jonny TR6 Posted December 22, 2023 Report Share Posted December 22, 2023 (edited) Not sure on sizes, but maybe try the blanking plug on the front throttle body and see if that fits ? Edited - just saw on your other thread that you're running carbs. Edited December 22, 2023 by Jonny TR6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TR NIALL Posted December 22, 2023 Report Share Posted December 22, 2023 Mocal or Pirtec maybe your best bet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted December 22, 2023 Report Share Posted December 22, 2023 (edited) Don’t blank it off or you will lose the oil flow back into the filter. Unless you intend to wreck the engine bearings that is ……… You need to simply loop a hose between the two oil cooler adaptors without the oil radiator in place. Mocal make a spin on adaptor without oil cooler take off if you object to a loop of hose. Give them a ring or contact Moss who used to stock them. http://www.mocal.co.uk/products-spinofffilteradapters.html Edited December 23, 2023 by BlueTR3A-5EKT Quote Link to post Share on other sites

roy53 Posted December 23, 2023 Report Share Posted December 23, 2023 Peter is spot on. Be thankful that you didn't have any blanking plugs to hand. Roy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rod1883 Posted December 23, 2023 Report Share Posted December 23, 2023 Just spotted this thread - thankfully Peter and Roy have posted. I know someone that decided to blank off the cooler and wrecked his engine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
