decided to have a go at roo covering my 67 tank, cheaper than paint and keeps oe patina and chrome safely preserved, will just bog up dents ( no lead)
but wtf is the little dick that sits behind filler cap?
had presumed a one way vent years in front of itself
but appears solid and cap is vented
in all loopies or just very early ?
thx

i get it, holds the swivel cap holder arm ( missing)
bolt broken under flush
drilling now, should be fixable

That is the threaded receptacle that holds the clasp for the fuel cap.

Yes, M12-1.0. MG Cycle offers adapters to use later petcocks, making your own shouldn't be difficult.

thanks Charlie, had to be , but have neither bolt nor tap to check
just could have been an oddball out of left field!
brass adaptors coming up
