Tpi.
Does any body know the TPI and thread type of the 28/29 gas tank opening?
Is the thread tapered?

Re: Tpi.
Yes, have a thread gauge, but not an early tank. Just answering a question given to me by a club member.

Re: Tpi.
Hi Folks.
No, sorry. It is the gas cap filler hole thread I was wanting. I did not make it clear in my post. Les.

Re: Tpi.
Well in that case, 18 TPI is what you want.

Anyone want to add the tpi for the gas gauge to this thread so we have all three?
