Malcom Smith Fuel Tank
« on: December 14, 2008, 08:24:17 pm »
Does anyone know where I can get a new fuel tap grommet to suit a 70's vintage, Malcom Smith plastic fuel tank? It's a stepped style of grommet, small dia about 12mm large dia about 25mm with about a 8mm dia hole through. The fuel tap pushes in.
Must be new, I have a couple of old ones but they're perished and cracked with age.

these fittings from dennis kirk are exactly what you need. the rubbers are the same its just that one fitting is for 5/16 fuel hose and other is for 1/4 hose

you can use the fittings and a fit inline tap or use the stock tap in the rubber

or ebay seller east coast tractor

these rubbers are also exactly what you need

the ebay seller only ships to USA so i had to get a buyer in USA to help me out

these rubbers/fitting should also work on Can Am tanks

tank caps are also not a problem for the MS tanks
