Hi folks,
Does anyone know if there is enough room to fit a lever type tap with a 90degree elbow on the end on the A65 UK spec (4 gall ) tank?
Alternatively, does anyone have an A65 reserve petrol tap (the one without the standpipe) going spare? Mine has a stripped thread in the little stop screw hole so a new body is needed.
As you know, these have to be of the in line horizontal pattern as there is no room for a standard downward pointing jobby!!

Hello Mr Editor,
Yes, there is room. I have 90 degree elbows fitted to the lever taps on my A65 (4 gallon tank). If I've misunderstood your question, please ignore!
Thanks Martin, I'm in the process of fixing the existing taps, I have tapped out the screw hole to M4 and made a screw to fit with a reduced end to fit in the slot. With new corks I'm hoping all will be OK. If not, I will use the lever tap and elbow method as the new original style, made by Brassform now are £32 each.

Chris - in case it's of help, I got my lever taps from Classic Motorcycle Spares and the elbow clears the top fin of the cylinder head by about 5-6mm.
Thanks Martin,
I will take a look at their website.
