T500 Petcock

Post by CJF »

Does anyone know what size the T500 tank bung is? I'm trying to figure out if an aftermarket petcock can be fitted.

The petcock bung on the bottom of your tank is 22mm, Reproductiondecals.com
sells a good quality petcock that is not original but looks the part. #51023-043
I think it's about $44.00 It does not have the vacuum diaphram on the the side but only someone from this forum would ever notice. If you do go with this one or any other non-diaphram petcock you will have to plug up the vacuum takeoff on the carb throat.
