A zebra billy can was one of the first things I bought when I started gathering my kit together many years ago now. I now want to buy another that will fit snugly inside of the existing one. The problem is I cannot remember which size I bought. I have measured it and it has an internal diameter of about 14 cms and an external diameter ( taking into account the bail arm brackets) of about 16 cms. So which one do I have, 14 cms or 16 cms can?

A a rough measurement of mine

10Cm billy - height without lid 100mm, internal diameter 100mm

12Cm billy - height without lid 125mm, internal diameter 120mm

14Cm billy - height without lid 145mm, internal diameter 140mm

16Cm billy - height without lid 165mm, internal diameter 162mm


Sounds like you have a 14Cm, a 10 Cm will fit nicely inside it but they are increasingly difficult to get hold of as when i bought one a lot of people advertised them but didnt have any stock showing, think i ended up getting it from touring gear after a recommendation on here. To improve the fit its also worth replacing the handles with some flexible wire
