Fuel tap bowl

Post by Geoff Hastings » Fri Jul 07, 2017 7:55 am

As the fuel tap bowl had corroded through I looked around at various options. I could have gone for one of the few remaining bowls that CMS have in stock, £21 plus £14 postage. I found a company on eBay making a very similar item for old Suzuki. I sent him my old one and he made a replica from a solid block and incorporated a magnet into it to pick stray metallic particles. I opted for the polished finish but you can go for a machined finish. They cost £32+£4.40 postage or £35 for the polished finish. You can find him on eBay or www.astrax.co.uk.

Nice job and will probably last better than the original.
