My original tank centre bolt rubber plug has just about given up, problem is trying to find replacement in grey, needed to match the new poor fitting knee rubbers. I can find them in black, but wanted to stop grey, any idea,s.

don't know anything for certain but wonder if soaking a black one in bleach would have the desired effect (effect/affect - never got those two sorted in me mind).
Did they ever make grey ones or is this a colour co-ordination thing

I haven't seen any made in anything other than black , why not just spray it grey ? won't be permanent but could possibly be a why forward and with such a small area the tin will probably outlast your good self , *whistle*Bob

I seem to remember that the tank rubber plug on a 1961 C15 I owned in the '60s was grey. So presumably BSA sometimes fitted grey
parts. The knee grips were also grey.

Used a rubber colour restorer on mine with a quite good result.
