Petrol taps

Sold out...sorry!

I have  just  taken delivery of a number of exact replica "sugar cube" petrol taps as used on the earlier model MotoParilla models - made to order in Italy.

Moto parilla replica & real tapsThese have a coarse thread at the tank end - 12 x 1.5mm - & are on/off only as original. Reserve is achieved by using only one tap - usually the one which is fitted with a T connector - as the "main". The other tap then is used to provide a reserve facility & its single angled outlet is connected to one leg of the main tap. The other leg of the T connects to the carb.

The outlets are standard gas fitting thread as used on all Italian taps I've seen.

 

The only non original feature is the plastic fuel filter... but how picky can you get ???

OE Moto Parilla petrol tapThe same method of construction is used & the materials are original too - solid brass with nickel plate finish. The OE one I have has had most of its nickel removed by years of use, the replicas will take on the same original look before too long.

Many of the generic taps you see about are cheaply made in aluminium with dodgy seals & much bulkier than original - these are precise replicas in the true sense of the words.

I have a limited number of sets available & can supply them now .

£30.00 GBP a pair postage & packaging extra.
