Many thanks John Price G-SHSH Kit 113. From: Neville Eyre Sent: Wednesday, March 14, 2012 7:20 PM Subject: Re: Europa-List: batch of classic fuel filler pipes being made 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 =C2=A3115 / =C2=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 !

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 batch b) 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 Bird G-UMPY Mono Classic/XS FWFD 912ULS/Warp drive FP Just competed conversion to type G(at)gdbmk.co.uk Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=367709#367709 arget=_blank>http://www.matronics.com/Navigator?Europa-List p://forums.matronics.com blank>http://www.matronics.com/contribution arget=_blank>http://www.matronics.com/Navigator?Europa-List p://forums.matronics.com blank>http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message europa-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Europa-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/europa-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/europa-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
