Nick Jackson (2) Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Does anyone have a spare one of these 'swan neck' fuel pipes? It sits between the fuel filler and the tank. While trying to replace a hose I managed to break off the small pipe that accepts the fuel return line. CW doesn't have them and so far no luck with used sources either.

Nick Jones Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 There was a mk 2 PI in a scrapyard in Bridgwater, which still had the tank in it last time I saw it. Hamp Car Spares IIRC.I'd say the broken part is fixable in minutes by a skilled gas or TIG welder. Probably not with MIG though.Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 You can rig something up with a simple T shaped nylon hose joiner — I have a similar set up on my saloon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard B Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Some one with oxy-acetalyne or propane should be able to braze a repair there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piman Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Hello John, the stub is too short to repair it with a bit of hose in my view, I wouldn't rely on it staying petrol tight, it's just not worth the risk. It needs the stub cut off flush, then redrill to the small pipe diameter and braze the pipe back in, ten minutes or so of a job.Alec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Jackson (2) Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 I'm down in North Dorset. I think I'll ask around this weekend and see if someone can braze it, but I'm interested in a used replacement if one exists.Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikew Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I think its the same as a Stag one - have you tried people like Les Clarke, and other Stag breakers ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piman Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Hello Nick, I'd be happy to do it but it's a bit of a trek for you :-). You could try Winns and co.Alec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
