    So I ordered the rubber filler neck from Bus ok
    At a total cost of 47 euros, including postage, after I paid, they sent me an email saying its not 100% correct and would I like to upgrade to an original one at a cost of 80 euros
    I've asked what the difference is between them, but no response as of yet.[​IMG][​IMG]

    If the picture is correct your fuel filler goes off at an angle on a pickup. If you fit the bus one that goes straight down more or less it will constantly be under tension and split..

    But would I buy a 50 year old rubber part? .With the flatter angle you might find other fuel fittings that suit, even a flange welded to an angled tube and marine fuel hose..

    I'm not fitting a bus one Mike I've ordered a double cab one from them then they message me asking if I'd like to upgrade to an original.
    I've requested a picture so I can see the difference.

    Get your money back and go Type 25.

    It’s a really close match ;)

    So they’re basically saying ‘we’ve advertised, and you’ve bought, one that’s not really very good’ but that they can also sell you a NOS one if you’d like, for 3x the price? Or are they saying they’ve not got the cheap one in stock, but here’s a sub, for 3x the price?

    Yes, exactly , it's okish, but this is better if I want to spend another 60 euros.

    Having flipped the photo around, it’s not a perfect comparison but…

    I've just requested a refund. I'm going with @stirlingmoz idea and fit a T25 one. If I bought the original one, including postage, it's over 100 euros ridiculous amount for a little bit of rubber.
    The filler neck on a double cab is so easy to get at I can change it anytime.
