Yes,
he got the idea from me. It's a mod that many owners use for their Lotus Elan +2 and i have used it with sucés on my "M" Series". I spoke about this on the forum when Adrian used to post here. He did say it looked interresting but didn't say he would adopt the idea.
It's good news because it is a very good mod.

Yes an easy mod to do the MX5 modified valve is easy to get the reducer that Alan posted the link to is no longer available however it not a lot of work to make a simple piece that it fits into and you can insert in the filler hose wherever you prefer lower dow or higher up and hold in place with a clanp.
Here are a few i made for my cars.

Hi Andrew,
i see you've made a very nice job and better than me. Easier to follow with your photos.
At least everyone can protect the paintwork on their cars with all the nasty things in the Fuel these days.
I've placed them towards the bottom so when you fill up they can not be knocked by the filler nozzle at the petrol station.

I am pleased that Lotus Elan +2 owners can share with TVR owners the same mod.
Alan
