KYK711D Vitesse 1600/6- Drain Plug Bracket 610470

Hi All"!  Anyone knows where I can find a Drain Plug Bracket which sits under the Petrol Tank ?  Cheers Martyn

[Colin Lindsay]

Chic Doig may have a second-hand one; if you get one post a photo (in fact if anyone can post a photo I'd be grateful) I'm bound to have one lying about somewhere for my own car but need the mind refreshed as to exactly what it looks like.

Hi Its Part 36 under the tank?  Canleys are looking for a Second hand one at this moment!  Cheers Martyn

best to make one

its a pretty obscure bit of design , just sits over the hole in the floor its not even sealed to the body just allows a bigger hole in the floor to help fit the tank and the floor to rust through

best thing is new tanks dont have the silly thing , so the floor can be blanked off.

I didn't bother replacing this when I rebuilt my Vitesse, or the water absorbing Sponge Seal Item 35 which can hold water an encourage rust.

Just make sure that lower area of the tank around the drain plug is well rust proofed with Waxoyl or Dinitrol wax.

I then fitted a suitably sized rubber Grommet to the Drain plug  floor hole.

Hi All!  Thanks for the Information.  Just had a message from Dave at Canley.  He had one there but said it was rusty!  He checked his cars and said that the plate was missing from all of them and basically not to bother.  I will more than likely weld the hole up?

 

Many Thanks

Martyn

 i reckon you can only weld the hole up if your tank does not have the drain spout .

if its there it does protrude  through the floor and no hole means you wont refit the tank ...........   without a heck of a fight
