Hi Fritz,

No experience but it looks similar to the one that Uli Hoffman has fitted on his Navigator? See Nick Clark's post in the lightweight sectionon 28th January. Uli posted a picture on the 30th Jan.

There were a few lightweight owners looking for a tap with reserve, so this could be for them? If no good for a lightweight, I'm happy to plead ignorance as to the size.

Anna, the post was about a FUEL TAP, not a tank strap!

 

Regards,

George

Thank you George. Interesting thread, so I'll stay with the tap I have and carefull watching the fuel supply. This one: https://andover-norton.co.uk/en/shop-details/14998

The pattern is the same as on my 1959 Dommie, only it seems to be more rough cast.  It has the main tap plus a reserve which was always VERY useful!  Authentic taps too - one round with knurling for the main supply and one hex head for the reserve.

[Just to be clear, I'm referring to the eBay link in the first posting]
