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?

why are the flow and return pipes unused, how are you getting the fuel to and from the engine ?

Methinks it was this that threw us.
"a stopper for the unused flow and return pipes."
