Default Weber Fuel Blocks

Does anyone recognize the brand of this weber fuel adapter?



It's made of brass, the barbs are .380" / 9.5mm, the face that mates to the carb and bolt is serrated to form a better seal with the gasket. From the measurements of the part, I am guessing they were made as metric - but not 100% sure of this.

Anyone have any experience with them? Good or Bad?

They were in a collection of stuff for weber's (thanks, Dean) and not sure of their history.

Paul

The center section look very much like the parts Jim Inglese makes up . I just bought a line from him with crimped ends so I don't know about the barbed shaft. What I have from him fits the 48IDAs perfectly. Check with him if you are looking to replace, Regards, Jon

I just don't like any fuel line fitting that uses those serrated edges when the fuel line slips over, as it appears these do. Nearly impossible to get the fuel line off when you need to (often on the side of the road of course). Just my opinion.


On my recent set-up from Jim I. the fittings that were smooth on the two gasket faces, and the shaft portion was straight with a bulge near the end.

FYI, I reproduce a concours level replica of the brass and steel Weber fuel inlet banjo fittings just as Shelby American Inc. modified them for use on 48IDM and 48IDA systems. These reproductions utilize a cast brass banjo (as originally supplied by Weber) with all the correct details and are silver soldered to a steel tube that has been bead rolled at one end with the correct Parker brand beading tool.
Example of the 1964+ type:
