Have found the source and part no. for the metal version of the fuel tank coupling which appears to snap off occasionally (workshop thread by Dobro-dog started me looking). OEM part is plastic and snaps off at the neck leaving threaded section in tank plate. (This has happened to me.)
For the UK the supplier is Tom Parker Ltd (01256 330033). The part no is: LCD100040V. They cost £12.00 + vat. Sure am glad to have these even if I did have to pay ridiculous courier charge.

Thanks for that. While I haven't broken one, one of mine leaks when the pipe's disconnected. A constant 2 drips a second. Grrrr.

Will Certainly get a set of these for my next service.

Cheers .

I need 2 for my 02Tiger & 2 for my Sprint st

do you have a part # for the male fitting?

What is the currency conversion to US Dollars?

The link to the Tom Parker page is:

Here you will find the tank and hose fitments - the hose fitments are anodised aluminium anyway but may be best to get the complete M/F unions.

Hope link works - I'm rubbish at computers!

Cheers All.

If you snap them off while trying to remove them (as I did - much swearing followed), get yourself a soldering iron with a cutting tip (flat tip) and work it out that way. Everything else I tried moved me closer and closer to mangling the steel plate.

Remarkably poor design. The metal females work so much better. Just be sure not to overtighten them. I got mine from Team Triumph here in the States for $37.00 USD (females only). These mated up to the metal males supplied by Triumph nicely.

How do you find this stuff out ???

Soeone else mentioned the shims are the same as Honda ones, surely you don't just stumble across this by accident ?

Brilliant.

Just out of curiosity how do you know what thickness shims you need ??
