1984 model changed to smaller hole so you will need the filler neck and seal to go with the later tank Ithink
64mm later
70mm like yours early

where are you ?

Good luck Ali. The small pipes and grommets are hard work.

Early tank had wider METAL fuel filler neck.
Late tank 84 onwards had a smaller diameter PLASTIC filler neck

You need to find out whether this 84 tank has a metal or plastic filler (early/late)
If 84 tank is late..then you will need the plastic filler neck as well.
