Yes, well that's what they will all sell you, if you ask for standard replacement petrol taps(UK)!

I do use the sleeve type taps but always run a 5mm drill through them first to open up the rubbers?



There are some better quality UK-made brass "cone" taps available.

Otherwise ask/search for "BAP" taps: http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/Triumph-C ... ec0Q2em322
