More Petrol Tap questions

That tap is from an earlier era. It can be stripped and corks replaced. The most important features for a new tap are, will it fit ,are the threads the right size , will the pipe/body foul the frame ,styling panel etc. and does it have a reserve feature as the bike can only have one tap.  All reasons why if possible you should find an orriginal fitment Ewarts and restore it. Will take patience and time ,I can help. The Ewarts came in many forms and its likely you will buy a few duds on the way. perhaps find something new that will do for now. I think the correct tap had an outlet at 90 degrees to the tap main body. you may be able to fit an elbow to a straight thro tap .

Although he says collection in person he does post them It's ebay's bizarre rules that make him say collection.

Have to admit that it took a couple of attempts to get the orriginal Ewarts fuel proof. But it has been in use on my go to bike for many years now . possibly lasting because i empty out tank once a year and dont allow moisture to enter tank when bike not in use. Main enemy to tap appears to be rust particles which are very abraisive.
