Anybody know the diameter and lenght of the selleck pin that holds the fuel cap on my A65 or know who has them in UK
Someone has just put a 6ba screw in with nut

Isn't it just a case of measuring the length across the 2 x brackets on the petrol tank and the internal diameter of all the holes. The Sellock roll pins are widely available, for example, on eBay:

On reflection, I may have had a Monza cap in mind in terms of using a Sellock roll pin. Having just looked at the flip-up cap on my A65, it looks as though mine uses a plain pin which may have a pin head on one side and, perhaps, a snap-on cap on the other end, although it is hard to be sure. It's possible on mine that the pin is a permanent fixture and the filler cap has been slipped on and then the hinge simply bent shut?

Having had to solder the filler cap mounting tabs, I drilled said tabs and settled for a 4BA x 21mm (tip to under head) screw. I also used a washer and domed nut.
