extra bits

I hate it when that happens!
I got my new petrol tap through the post yesterday and when I opened the packet there was a small plastic sleeve in the package. It looks as though it should fit on the lever assembly but the chromed lever is much thicker than the diameter of the sleeve. Could be that it's supposed to replace the chrome handle on the lever but there is no obvious way of changing them over.
The tap has quite comprehensive instructions on how to fit it (and that's the important bit) but there's nothing on this piece of black plastic.

So I could now go ahead and make the conversion to carburettor but as that would involve cutting off the plastic fuel pipes to the pump. I'm not clear if that would mean that the pump could not be re-used so I'm going to put it off for a while to research how it will affect the re-sale value of the bits I won't be using. I could do with some return to help pay for the parts I've bought already.

I'm off work this week so I'll head over to House of Custom and see if my wheel bearings have been pulled out yet.
