I dont have an adress, Claude, but I was having the same problem many years.
Bought new model taps some years ago for all my bikes and everything works fine now.
Mind you, there a several types on M20's....
A good dealer in the UK should have them.

The original taps for an M20 were ENOTS with cork seals. There are quite good repros, but you can still be hampered by leaking corks.
I have these and other original types fitted to all my military bikes and am quite familiar with draining the tanks to change leaking corks:white_frowning_face:

But I have found that these which I've fitted to other bikes are by far the best if you're not too worried about authenticity. Ron

I fitted the more modern type taps as fitted to most British bikes in the 60 -70's. Put a threaded reducer bush in the tank and soldered a couple of tapered ferrels onto the original fuel pipe to take the larger nut and the length was spot on. No more fuel leaks. I just got sick of fuel leaking past the corks and was worried one day it might burst into flames when starting if fuel got around magneto. Unfortunately they are chrome plated but they are fairly well hidden under the tank and if the hand pump is fitted that side is not very visible.
After several years of no more fuel leaks not one person has noticed the fuel taps not being original.

I keep passing on this bit of info, but not sure if anyone else has tried it? Replace the corks with a neoprene "cork" cut from one of those newfangled plastic wine bottle stoppers. Cut to size with a modelling knife and form the central hole using a hot wire. My taps have been leak free for 12 years plus since fitting. (maybe I should not have said that?!).

Go ahead Ferg! Go into production! You'll make a fortune and be able to retire young! :relaxed: Ron

The only good taps on the market are Jiri's in the Czech republic, look here; https://www.vintage-replica.com/323--petrol-tap-with-whitworth--thread/ they both look like originals, are nickel plated, and do work!
