I have a few of these tubes and they all have one banjo fitting for the expansion tank hose. I recently came across one thats got two banjo bolt fittings on it close to one another, about an inch apart.
Does anyone have one of these twin banjo tubes on their bike??? and if it is original to their bike what year is it.

Ok Mark on a regular radiator filler connector tube there is one threaded adapter fitting near the base of it for the banjo bolt fitting that leads to one of the hoses to the expansion tank.
This tube I have has two threaded fittings next to one another, here its upside down freshly bead blasted and painted with a hanging wire through one of the fittings holes.
