Paul,

Tell you what, I've got a small piece of the yellow flexible hose used in 
the Factory solution for this (see the Factory mod description for the name 
of it) - it links the top fuel tank fitting to the Al pipe down into the 
tank. It's not enough to do the job for you, but it shows you what you're 
looking for. If you let me have an address for you, I'll cut a bit off and 
post it to you - you can then try to match it from your suppliers over 
there.

It's certainly interesting material - I found that if you slip it over a 
piece of Al pipe it will take you hours and very sore fingers to work it off 
again!

Also, I remember you're using Graham Singleton's tank fittings. How have you 
got the siphon line through the top fitting? Graham's doing me a new one 
with two holes through the back face - the other one for the breather line 
as currently.

Finally, in the 'interregnum' as currently, it may be possible to get one of 
the LR tanks from the original manufacturer. I guess things like this will 
become clear over the next few weeks.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Jeremy
