Title: Fuel filler caps - 'Shaw Plugs'
Post by: Pete Sparrow on July 14, 2015, 23:44:19
Hi All
I need to get hold of a handful of these caps for our stainless steel fuel filler necks made by Tony Tiger.
Tony is making another handful of the necks before the 24hr and they will be available via Wayne Cowling so I've been told. He does not have the expanding plugs to fit them.
Strangely I have all the information I will ever need on Butt plugs but that wasn't what i was searching for (although some are big enough to fill a hole that big... ), Has anyone found a UK source for them (Shaw plugs, lets be clear on this) or anything else similar? if not I may have to buy a batch from the states as thats the only place I can currently find them.
Is anyone else after one?
ta
Pete

I think when they were brought in from the states originally (I shipped them) only 50 where brought in, haven't seen them anywhere else. Paul R if I remember correctly asked me to get them picked up from somewhere in the states.

We bring stuff in from USA by sea fairly regularly. I'm checking when our next shipment is due to leave Elizabeth NJ, and when it would arrive in Birmingham.

That would be cheaper than airfreight, but slower.
