Right, update;
I gave up on the three manufacturers I asked to bid on before, no
wonder all the work is going to China !
Found someone [ a mate] to do the job, I need to know is how many are
interested in this first batch.
I intend to keep a bunch in stock later, as ALL Classic Europa's are
going to need one sooner or later, I have inspected 3 recently for
Permit Renewal, all getting close to being too far gone.
Europa are not going to get any more rubber hoses made.
The pipes will be from 6023 [ heat treated to T3 condition after
bending in the T 0 state] with rolled beads on each end. Tags on both
ends to ground [ earth] to filler cap and ground circuit.
Will be a ''new'' Mod with the LAA as we can't use Franks Mod if there
is the SLIGHTEST deviation.Frank used 6063 T6 [ YES T6 !] How did he
bend that ? So different material spec needs a new Mod ! ?
Will be a complete Kit with all connecting hoses, clips, wire etc.....
I will have a firm price in a week or so, best guess at the moment for
the pipe only is about =A3115 / =A3120, but that depends on the number ?
Looking at the cost of the other items at the moment.
Best to ship [ especially to overseas] in multiples, as they will be
big [ odd shape] can't be folded up like the rubber ones were ! ? [
mind, I expect Maureen would have tried !]
So, who wants one in about 3 to 4 weeks ?
I have had a pipe made from gash steel to trial fit, [ got 3 Europa's
to check with, all slightly different !] if / when I get the go ahead
---From enough of you I will be ready to do sets for real in the alloy.
Looks like a win / win situation going to alloy, wont get the stink
through the poor quality rubber, and it will be lighter. Also got a
''cunning plan'' to aid faster filling, will report back on that later.
So Guys, show me your money !
Nev

I started conversations with 3 potential manufactures a while back,
confess I have let it slip, will look back into it this week and report
back.
Cheers,
Nev.

Subject: Europa-List: batch of classic fuel filler pipes being made
am thinking of getting a batch of aluminum fuel filler pipes made for
the classic to replace the rubber trunk. Frank Mycroft sent me a drawing
and has had the mod approved ( it may be with Ian as well). a) does
anyone else want one making, they would be cheaper in a batchb) I can
enquire locally but pointers as to where they could be made in the UK
would be helpful (50mm x 1.5 pipe) Regards Graeme --------Graeme
