Andy3HW Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Hi, Can anyone advise me on what was the correct type of fuel tap and rear light fitted to a 1944 Triumph 3HW. Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Yes a 3HW only has one tap and a balance tube. The tap is the double type with a main pull on button and one for reserve. These should be available from one or all of the following 'Trisupply' Tri-Cor' 'Ace Classics' All bikes by 1944 would have been fitted with a standard MCT1 WD (fag end light).

HotBed Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Ron, would this tap also be the same one fitted to a 3SW ?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Yes and I've just fitted one to my 5SW too. http://www.tricor-andy.com/product/petrol-tap-double-plunger-type/ Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HotBed Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I couldn’t find a brass option 🙁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 They're all brass anyway. They are bright Chrome (or zinc) plated. I just bought one for my 5SW from 'Ace Classics' and gave it a light blast with medium grit in my cabinet to give it an original dull chrome look.
