Wanted - brass intake pipe for 73 Fuel Tap

Anyone got a spare intake pipe by any chance? I think the pipe is the same for all zeds 73-75
Failing that, anyone managed to find a supplier who stocks this gauge of pipe?
Failing that, anyone got a complete tap for sale with pipe intact?

Will do
Just out of interest, what year is your spare tap from?
Just wondering whether it has the same black plastic 'selector' sleeve inside like the 73? These sleeves don't seem to be available and mine is not perfect. Have you dismantled yours by any chance?

Not sure what it's off it has the twin outlets at right angles to each other and the sleeve is beige, it was off an A4 but i've also seen them with the parallel outlets.

Nice one Greg - thanks for this. Have emailed them to check they'll ship to UK.
If not could I maybe sort one out via you?
Cheers
