Alan Swainson just made me a tank for my 1929 AJS M1 V twin, an excellent job for a very cpmplicated tank.

Try Metal Magic in Reading. Their phone number is 01189 731631. They can even make you a petrol tank, as they made one for me for one of my own projects. Their workman ship is first class. They can make or repair any thing in sheet metal. They have even made body panels for cars, when the owner could not source certain panels to rebuild his car. I saw the car that they were making body panels for. They can also made any thing in tube, and they can also make one off mudguards.
