just to let people know, www.tom-parker.co.uk 01772 251405 delivered me a pair of female(tank) couplings in chrome plated brass for £12.00 each +VAT & postage within 24hrs regestered mail, very nice they are to!they do both parts in metal. another word of warning, I contacted triumph at hinckly to make sure that I had the right thread size (1/4BSPT) & their tech person informed me that the female threads on the tank plate are tapered! consequently the brass couplings sit 2-3mm higher than their plastic counterparts, but with a couple of turns of ptfe tape seal just fine.
If the plastic couplings screw in deeper makes you wonder how much they are stressed & is that why they are so fragile?

If the plastic ones are done up too tight the internal valves stop closing.
