    Ok fellas....
    part 2 of the Devine Comedy.........did a few hours and I think she looks a little better than last time you all saw her. Just the expansion tank to fit and top up with water then connect the battery and hopefully the engine will turn...............

    I got those on the Sprint off Fleabay. They came from China of course but they're just as good as any I've seen here and I had 4 for £12 instead of a tenner each.........not sure if they do the oval ones though............

    Evening everyone
    Bit of a technical question to the multitude..........the petrol tap on my Sprint is well and truly
    knackered.............looking for a nice,neat replacement...... something simple and unobtrusive. I know the ZR750 tap fits but are there any other options out there.?..........That's your starter for 10 and no conferring...........

    I remember somewhere reading a yamaha one fitted,been looking but no success as yet.
    On the USA site a lot of the guys use pingle taps on triumphs but not sure if you get them over here

    Thanks Sprint Dave
    Had a good look at the single tap..... beautiful piece of engineering at the equivalent price.......Wow they're expensive......£100+.....not found anything about a Yamaha tap but did discover the KTM XC/EXC tap is a fit also. Thanks for the pointer fella, I'll keep looking but I may try and engineer a custom tap.
    Cheers again. Jennoe
