Title: cap for gas trunk Post by: duelitriemezzo on 30 November, 2013, 12:03:19 PM Hello,
i am searching 2 caps for my gas trunk. (http://i40.tinypic.com/2lc4ho5.jpg) Thank you for help. Title: Re: cap for gas trunk Post by: simonandjuliet on 30 November, 2013, 12:42:59 PM Looks very similar to an Aprilia tank filter (maybe other 40's and 50's models as well ?)
I am sure there will be better and cheaper availability for these other models, maybe worth a try Title: Re: cap for gas trunk Post by: the.cern on 01 December, 2013, 12:51:17 PM I know it will not make you feel any better to know that I have even less of those units remaining on my car !!!! You have reminded me of another little job that I have to sort out !!
I recall a telephone conversation with Peter Harding where, if I remember correctly, he said that they were available as an exchange unit. It would definitely be worth asking him. I tried to find a source of a suitable brass mesh to use to refurbish mine and failed miserably. Good luck, please let us know if you find a way of dealing with the problem.

It's a bit difficult to see how big the filter is, but Fulvia has something similar and although I've had it some time I bought the mesh tube to fit Fulvia from Omicron, so perhaps they may be able to help.

All seems to work 2 years on Title: Re: cap for gas trunk Post by: the.cern on 02 December, 2013, 08:15:57 AM A nice bit of innovation there Simon, I now have a backstop!!
Many thanks, Andy |
