Hi all , does anyone know where you can get the pivot pins with the circlips  for the cap and lock , i think one is longer than the other if i remember right.
Thanks in advance, Dave

Dave, Trig hasn't got any. What I saw in a box has nothing to do with tank caps at all ::) ::) Sorry.

So please dont say you have to tap a normal pivot pin with a hammer to squish the end

Yea they do look better but cant find them anywhere over here & im not paying that much from the USA , they are called suspension pins ,if anyone can find the right length ones over here that would be a bonus.

I have just used one of these pins on my genuine Honda fuel cap.
It worked fine on my 750k1.
