I used to have a picture of one, I think it was a police bike. But I cannot find it for looking. I will keep looking but have almost run out of hidey holes for it. Ian

Chrome tank as well. Bit like buses you wait for one then two come along.

Hope yours is coming along okay

hi ian, after filling several dents and rubbing down and priming, i found another 7 tiny dents, which of course need filling etc. hopefully with a couple of coats of primer, this time i won't find any more.
cheers, bb.

Hi bb , sorry for the late reply , the tank you have is the early 2.75 gallon type , used on the '59-60 models - and scramblers . The rear tank mount used an ordinary bolt / washers , not the 'T' fixing - that was introduced with the commoner '60 onwards 3.25 gal tank . this is why early frames are threaded ( there are three types of front bracket too )Edited by - T on 03 Jun 2012 09:57:03 AM
