- High quality fuel pipes (modern fuel/emission quality 1/4" pipe- fully Ethanol proof) to give that original black rubber finish of period fuel pipes. They have all writing removed and are made up with B.S.P. unions and crimped ferrules, to give a professional finish. - These shorter length pipes are of approx 8.5" and 9" actual pipe length, which should still be enough for most petrol tanks, but can be fitted if you prefer smaller loops with little excess showing. I would suggest getting an old piece of tubing and cutting to this size as a test first if you are unsure.
These slightly shorter length pipes are of approximately 8.5" and 9.0" actual pipe length, which are slightly shorter than our Item 0121 fuel pipe sets - but some people prefer a more direct pipe - and they are also more similar to some road going models fitted with Amal 276 or Monoblock carbs. If you are not sure what length would suit your bike best - just get a length of thick wire and gently bend it to the correct curve between your petrol tank and carb . . . and then measure that.
These pipe sets can also be used with other Norton road models fitted wtih an Amal (or other make of carburettor) - fitted with twin 1/4" BSP banjo fittings. And of course - the same applies to other marques of motorcycles fitted with Amal carburettors. However, you might want to check that the lengths stated above are best suited for your bike - we also sell a slightly longer length of pipes (Item 0121) - or you can email us on sales@racingvincent.co.uk if you want to request a custom length - and we can quote pro-rata (allow up to 3 weeks for custom lengths though.
We use high quality Ethanol proof black rubber style fuel line when making these sets up, and ensure all writing is removed from the pipes - so they give a vintage bike restoration a period finish
Update Oct 2023 Now back in stock - But like everything else, post Covid the cost of these UK manufactured fittings and ethanol proof pipe have risen considerably in the last 18 months - hence the price increase (but which is still less than the % component increase)
