These Hex type 'Push/Pull' 1/4" BSP thread (into tank) and 1/4" BSP outlet thread petrol taps are of the same general design as fitted to most roadgoing Norton models from the 1930's-50's, i.e. SV, OHV, CS1 and Dominator models. These particular reproduction fuel taps are CNC manufactured to a higher standard than most others we have seen - and include a gauze filter, and an additional BSP nut and ferrule (whcih means a copper pipe can be soldered in if required).
Price is per unit
They have an attractive knurl on the 'Push/Pull' buttons, as well as etched writing on the face of the knurled buttons. The quality of the gauze is very fine and the overall finish of the petrol tap is very good, when compared to other patterns we have seen over the years.
This type of push/pull petrol tap was normal fitment on most Norton roadgoing singles from the 1930's to the 1950's, and they have the correct 1/4" BSP outlet thread - so will fit our period black rubber (ethanol proof) petrol pipe sets as well - Items 0121/0122.
When fitted pre-war - on some models a copper pipe was fitted instead of black rubber pipes - see the left side of the picture taken from the 1937-38 WD16H Spare Parts Catalog to see what one of these original pipe designs looked like - these petrol taps come with an additional 1/4" BSP nut, and a ferrule that lends itself to being bored to fit copper pipe, that can be soft soldered to this ferrule. (Note: in my own collection, I have an original 1930's twin pipe similar to this - I may consider making a batch of these twin copper/nickel plated fuel pipe assemblies at some time in the future - email on sales@racingvincent.co.uk if interested).
Note - Dowty or fibre washers for sealing to the petrol tank are sold seperately and not included with the taps.
