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
