Water inlet fittings for SIKK 27
Does anyone know where to get replacement water inlet/outlet fittings for the SIKK engine? Sean at Oneal bros is trying but no luck yet. Apparently it's a wierd thread (6 mm).

Paul,
I had a hard time finding that fitting. I ended up using a screw (with a nut on the outside) and simply drilling the middle out to flow water. It worked and looked fine. Pain to do, but that is all I could find.

No luck on the 2 sites. Great looking fitting on clippard but 10-32 thread[:@] Sean suggested I re tap the hole, but I'm a little squeemish about that.
I may try drilling a screw out as a last resort, But your right definitely sounds like a pain.

Is this what you are looking for? It's a little different with the O-ring in it, but it looks like it will work if you are indeed looking for a 6mm threaded barb.
