[QUOTE="Simon Dinsdale, post: 16790, member: 58"] These type were still BSP threads when I bought them 2 months ago. As for the reserve, here's an idea. On the tap you usually use, solder the fuel filter off on old tap onto a piece of copper or brass tube 1" long. Then glue the other end of the tube into the top on the new tap as previously described with the filters. Then when the bike splutters and you open the reserve tap you should have 1" of extra fuel in the tank and would double your reserve to 300 yards. You could even increase the length of the tube further to increase reserve. Unfortunately it doesen't increase the total distance you can do to a tank full unless you have cracked perpetual motion on a Vin. Cheers, Simon [/QUOTE]
