That's a very nice looking pump & tank cap !!
My pump is a modified bicycle floor pump, you can just see it inside the cockpit behind the hand brake lever. The one way valve is inside the bodywork alongside my right hip in the flexible line up to the tank. we have an old compressor gauge which shows low PSI so perfect for this application, it's in the dash just above the pump. When Beloved's surgery upgraded the X-ray machine, I moved it out of the building and into the temporary store for de-comissioning... I did however shamelessly pinch the 3 Bakelite ball handles off the various arms and these became the gear knob, brake lever knob and fuel pump knob - about the same size as the standard A7 gear knob... job done !
I've gotten used to unscrewing the tank cap on the single seater as I get out of it & I can reach over the top of my head to check if it's tight when I'm on the move.
