September 23, 201015 yr the tank i was derusting is now all clean and shiney and sealed ready for the off...ish..(thanks to the TC mafia for getting this far and Wyldes for supplying the necessary goo) the frame i am putting it on has the bulky yamaha fuel tap very close to the cylinder head.. so anybody know the size and / or even the thread of the fitting for the fuel tap so i can try to source an smaller alternative.. or even know of a tap i can use as an alternative?
September 23, 201015 yr A couple of comments: Are you putting a nice TY175 fuel tank on another bike frame? TY175 fuel tanks are worth a mint - check Ebay. If it's going on a mix-matched bike anyway sell the tank and buy a YAMAHA DT/MX 125 tank. They are about the same size and sell for almost nothing. In U.S. dollars you could probably pocket $100 in the deal. If you must use the TY175 tank. The threads are all the same. You just need to make sure you find a tap that threads in and is not the bayonet type. Take a look at some of the push-pull taps, they have no bulk to them at all. Alan
