ANY ideas on where i can get one as im reeeeaaally struggling

Hello, it's a standard issue with all Mk1s mate. I've just had mine replaced with a Cabby neck. You can fit a TinTop neck instead, they are much cheaper and only needs a basic mod to make it fit.

Do a search on here and you'll even find instructions to help you DIY.

IM probably being a nonce but i really wanted an original filler to suit without the mods....

Well, just buy one mate. You can still get them very easily so go for it.

Welcome to the site…

I got a cabby filler neck from GSF last summer. Try website below to find a local shop.

Much more expensive than a tintop one as already ponted out.

you will pay more than double for the cabby filler neck than the tin top and what makes it worse is there is less pipe work in a cabby neck.
the mod is basically,  take a hacksaw and cut a bit off if memory serves me right.
oh welcome to the site

Chances are you are paing the extra for some bloke in a factory somewhere to cut the end of a tin top one!!
