Re: Fuel Tap id
hi Paul .I would suggest the new one in the box is Z1a/b and the black one z1 72/73 ..... I may be wrong
Re: Fuel Tap id
Bare metal one is off a Z900.
Black one is off Z1 or early Z1A.
Z1B is same as black one but unpainted.

Re: Fuel Tap id
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 ?

Re: Fuel Tap id
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?
