1914- 1926 Vintage BSA two-way Petrol tap K462 for a flat tank motorcycle.
These taps are not easy to find.
I have looked though my BSA parts books and the following is the best that I can do to advise which models this was fitted to. Of course, it may have been fitted to others.
- 1914-1920 4 1/4hp
- 1923 2 3/4hp and 3 1/2hp
- 1921-1923 4 1/4hp
- 1920-1921 6 and 7 hp
- 1922-1923 8hp
- 1924 – 2 3/4hp SV, 3 1/2hp, 4 1/4hp, 6 and 8hp.
- 1925 – 2 3/4hp SV, 3 1/2hp, 4 1/4hp, 6 and 8hp.
- 1926 – 3.49hp SV, 4.93hp, 5.57hp, 7.7hp, 9.86hp
After 1926, the BSA two-way petrol tap seems to have been dropped from the models.
Condition:
The tap turns freely, but still with enough resistance. The threads are generally good and are shown in the images. One of the threads will need a tap running over it. Look at the images as I have shown a close-up. If you also look very closely at the nut, it has a very small amount of damage around the flange.
It’s beautifully presented in nickel plate.
Other BSA parts, in addition to this BSA two-way Petrol tap K462.
If you’re interested in this, it might be worth looking through my other BSA parts as I currently have a BSA sight glass (the one with the two outlets) attached to a Best and Lloyd hand oil pump.
Sometimes, I put a notice up on TheTimingChest Facebook page letting everyone know that something interesting is about to become available. It may be worth following the page.
