Here it is Ian.
Well there we go the site is dead slow.
Wont do a camera picture anymore.

Here is the layout I'm using, as I say not relevant to Ian's stock tank as the petcock will be at the back on the RHS not in the middle.
I think having the 'T' junction above the carb' as in Vibrac's setup looks a lot neater but in my situation I just don't have the room.
The Heath Robinson mix up with filter and selection of jubilee clips was as a get around as I had a bad fill with lots of silt as in the process of being tidied up.
Have toyed with the idea as per Vincent Brake photo of using safety wire but have the concern that if you have a road side strip down you have to carry jubilee / hose clips anyway.
Don't mean to hijack the thread and probably should start another , but does anyone have the same issue of Mikuni float chamber flooding/ sticking?. Sod's law says it is always the rear inacessible one for me and I've been told that with modern plugs that soaking them in fuel buggers them up?

Jhoo there it worked.
True, its down to the coating in your tank.
I got one with one pack coating. And it always sticks. Then polisched inside to little relief.
Rapide has two pack since donkey s years no problem.
The tank of BS is full with paint stripper now....
Can i ask what cc is this bike . What size mikunis are you using? Thanks
Strangely tonight the petrol started to pour out of the carb its almost certainly muck on the float needle Tomorrow I can fit one filter in the section leading up to the carb (bottom of my two pictures in post #11) whereas on the Egli 'neat' T connection (top picture) I would need two filters elsewhere
