I should be able to take a picture in the next couple of days but it will probably be the end of next week before I can get the callipers for an accurate measurement.
I guess you mean the pin where the rod goes through that then goes to the bell crank and then to the injector pump? I’ll take some pictures of mine in situ so you can see how it fits together as well.
Cheers.

If you aren't in a hurry I can take measurements of mine but do remind me and I will need to pick up my callipers from work
Yes please and, if poss, a photo as I don't know what it should look like. Cheers!

Thanks BEbgo and BMW. I just thought I would ask as someone might have one scudding around.

Couldn't do that now, too many moored boats all shouting, "Slow down, it's not an effing race track".

Bob on that is
Cheers for that, I thought so but it would have been cheaper just to buy a crapy brass label but I thought this would look more in keeping.

Have you got a door in the bulkhead . I had a half door on Halsll .
No doors.
I am going down to the boat so I will try to remember to measure.

RE what were they thinking...they weren't really and they were not as good as they thought they were. I should have gone to Brinklow from the off, hay ho, live and learn.
The fuel cap was a large threaded, at both ends, BSP pipe cut in half and welded up. I got it from Thomas Graham in Kendal.
I do have the original gear stuff but not the original wheel which I had cast in bronze not cast iron.
If I had an original iron one I would have it fitted but any chance to bling it up I take.
Engine is a Lister JP2M with a 2:1 Lister Blackstone 3G(?)

I didn't do anything with them. the boat yard chucked them unfortunately.

Not my picture but copied from a post by Tim Carter and William's Yarwood's fuel cap
which is where I got the idea from.

I know that Hawkesbury is a GU boat but I was thrown by the Yarwoods boss thingy but the tiller wasn't right so I wondered if it was the FMC Hawkesbury (don't know if it still around though). I should of looked at your avatar...I'm sometimes a little on the slow side. Poor old Lancing had had a hard life working for 70+ years so lots had to be remade but we have tried to put her back to how she might have been when new(ish) before she lost her original cabin etc.

BMW A lot of the H&W boats have had their tillers changed over time and look more Yarwoods in style than H&W.

because this is a wind up surely, no one would do this to a genuine fuel cap as it was never on any grand union motor like this - ha ha ha, good joke
This is NOT a genuine/original fuel cap as Lancing's were well and truly knackered.

Hawkesbury may be a GU boat but as the tiller did not look like a Yarwood's GU tiller I assumed it could've come from a FMC motor.
If it (the boos thingy) is from the GU Hawkesbury, she was built by Harland & Wolff and not Yarwoods.
So it is not any kind of elitism from the historic mob but rather a little knowledge and in my case very little.

I have seen one and it was from a GU/ACC Royality boat and that is were I got the wording from. It, my fuel cap, is just a bit of fun with just a little nod to the past.
The other thing that people tell me that is wrong about my boat is the bulkhead makers plate as the GU boats never had them but my boat did and I still have it. I think Lancing is the only GU boat that Yarwoods gave this type of makers plate to. There is a story behind it but that can wait for another time.

BMW - got one of them too but on a GU boat.

very original, ha ha ha - is it april fools day
The lettering was copied from another Yarwood's canal boat fuel cap with fuel oil added to comply with the BSS. The original would have been cast lettering in relief while mine is etched but with a nod to the original with a similar style typeface to the one that Yarwood's used, copied from an old maker's plate.
I don't get the April fools reference though.

One of Lancing's fuel caps

Thanks for those, but who made them? They look a little like HW but is that possible?
-
I think that the 'Royalty' boats fuel tanks were not the same as the rest of the GU boats. I know that HW built some wooden motors but I was thinking of the small Ricky motors. Did they build their own tanks or out sourced them and if so who?
-
I was wondering what were the fuel tanks like on the wooden GU boats and who would have made them?
JP2M swivel pin?
in Lister

Thank you Frangar, it does. Merry Christmas.
