Im not sure but I think that may be an after market fitting ?

May be available on "Ebay" from India ?

Just checked ..no luck on "Ebay" .
Wouldnt imagine it would be too hard to fabricate one if You could borrow a pattern ?

Once upon a time I had a miniature oxyacetylene set and making a carrier would have been quite easy.

Heres a link to the BSA M20 site it shows how to make one for them. It wouldn't be hard to make it for a plunger.

Thanks terryk. That looks like a very useful item. I guess he's packing the tube with sand to allow bending without distortion. I may well have a go at making one.
