It’s a m20 x 1.5 aftermarket tap - no idea why it’s so hard to find.

Me either - here's two from the supplier you just ordered from - hope you got the right size!

Petrol Cap Rivett by Macabe Thiele, on Flickr

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I've finished with the gravel bit - loads of stuff came out.

Question do I have to drill out the end of the pin / rivett to remove the cap - can you buy new pins or is there a better way forwards?

Lobo:
Yep, you’ll have to drill out the rivet - if you want to do the job properly. Replacement rivets avail (I used DSS) and fairly easy to fit, though you have to be bloody careful not to damage the paint (obviously).

I'm planning to refurbish my existing Petcock photo of the outer plate below courtesy of Evaporust.
