Bare metal one is off a Z900.
Black one is off Z1 or early Z1A.
Z1B is same as black one but unpainted.

Unpainted fuel tap was new to the Z1b.
All Z1a were originally black.

That is intriging as I have two boxed fuel taps at home.
One has fuel outlets at right angles which when I checked the numbers came up as off a Z1000P.
The other has both parrellel out the rear, which when checked umbers came up as off Z900A4.
Oh well suppose boxes could have got swoped, somehow ?

Yep saw that i my old Hesse Book Steve,
Looks like the one second from left with fuel embossed on lever which he says is Z1 a though i think some early a,s were Black,i reckon mine is later Z1a or Z1b though the box number said z thou? reckon this must be pretty rare item as its as near to nos as makes no odds.Might fit it to the thou project or use a not so good one i have or even a pretty good pingle i have,spoilt for choice eh?
