Fuel Tank Stopper/Plug

Post by LeeCarey »

Hi All, have my new fuel tank all ready to go back in but cant for the life of me find a stopper for the unused flow and return pipes. Any ideas where i can obtain one for the 8mm pipe

Many Thanks

Can’t help with finding original stoppers but would suggest that you use a small piece of new pipe (e10 compliant) and put a small bolt in it and use suitable clips?
