Title: Holes in fuel tap '69TMX 100
Post by: 66bridge on December 03, 2022, 07:42:27 AM

Hey guys,
Found two holes in back of fuel tap. Has anyone seen this before? Not going to fix obviously. Looking for correct mm size for replacement. Thanks for your help.

I don't know if that's a problem or not... was it leaking? Does it look like it has corroded to that condition? The fuel valve looks in OK condition otherwise.

Richard has new fuel valves available here: https://6x6parts.com/product/bridgestone-50-60-90-100-replacement-fuel-petcock-valve-cock/ (https://6x6parts.com/product/bridgestone-50-60-90-100-replacement-fuel-petcock-valve-cock/)

Yes it was leaking, area was paper thin. Thanks for the replacement info but to confirm the thread size is 16mm?
