Anyone know where i can get one. Mini spares/sport both out of stock. Would prefer a 2nd hand one to be honest as i'm skint. I was also thinking is there an alternative. Like a long thin plastic one out of a modern car or the likes.


Ideas anyone?....

Good luck with finding a decent s/h one. I've been looking for a bit now as I need one for my Midas. Am tempted to look into seeing how much it will cost to get something similar made...

There was one brand new unpainted one for £100 at Bingley which went pretty quickly I think, and I also found one s/h one. I didn't enquire about the price as bits of it started to fall apart in my hands. There's always these guys if you're not bothered about cost:

you can get new estate/van tanks on ebay for between £90 and £150, but the filler neck on most of the new 1s is abut an inch short, so makes putting the petrol cap on abit tricky!
