Fuel Tank Prop Grommet

  1. I'm missing the rubber grommet into which the fuel tank prop would sit - any idea what the part number would be for this? I've searched on Stein Dinse but can't find it.

    Fits in this here hole..

  2. The rubber isnt very good. I made a olastic insert which sits in there and holds the tank more firmly. The rubber rips, a bad design.

    This doesnt really answer your question though, so I found it for you

  3. Agreed these don’t last which is explains why mine is missing.
    A plastic one would be an improvement, what did you use to make yours?

  5. I found tapping in a tyre valve dust cap works perfectly, for those not wanting to go to the great expense :) IMG_5739.jpeg

  6. I made it on my lathe, it screws on from below and has an angled hole in it. I'll get some pics

  7. Found another solution, spotted a bleeder screw cover which was lying around.

    Inverted that and it's a perfect fit!

  8. A cheap solution. I took a crappy pic of mine, but it gives you the idea. It's 2 part threaded so is attached underneath too.
