Perol tank details 39 G3

Post by laxy »

im seeking the details for the paint and lining details on the petrol tank for a 1939 G3. the tank is to be painted rather than chromed . Ive consulted the lining details offered by the clubs spares scheme but they dont seem to go back this far. Many thanks for any info LAXY

Look at the 1939 sales cat. If the tank will not chrome plate. Paint it Black with Gold lining as the G2 & SV singles seen. Lining was done by hand. The lining following contours of tank rubber etc. Perhaps put some cling film on the tank, Draw with black felt marker the lining. Perhaps starting off will the earliest details you can find to assist you. It needs to look right to be right. You make find height and length dimensions to help. But it is the curves that really have to match the rubber and tank front curve to look good.

Perhaps you could find a picture, this one from the sales cat. is not good. It only shows how the curve will follow the tank rubber, even that would look wrong if you fit a later tank rubber with a different curve.
