Fuel tap

[Robbo]

My Phil read tank has an alloy lug welded on with a femal thread for the fuel tap, I put the thread gauge on and it looks like 1.25mm by about 12mm. A spark plug screws in but it a little loose.
I don't have a fuel tap and am having problems finding one.

Any ideas?
I though about knocking up an adapter, threading a bar and drilling it hollow to provide a male attachment for a locking nut type tap.

As a Phil Read tank i would sugest trying one of the old Triumph screw in taps

Hi, the Phil Read replica tank uses the standard cb75
0 F2 fuel tap

Mine has a lug welded on with a female thread, I am going to make an adapter for it so I can use another tap.

With the female thread i still rekon the old 70's Triumph will fit

I tried an old triumph one but it was too big, I might try and find another but until then I'll make an adapter on the lathe

If it's a genuine Phil Read tank they were made by a bloke near Dartford who used to make tanks for barry Sheene. He made my tank & tail unit for my 750F2 special & said that the tap stub is designed to take the standard CB750F1 fuel tap.
