F1 alloy oil tank dip stick ??

[bluemouse1006]

Hi
Doing a mad convention on a F1 where I'm using another oil tank the other way round with the back ( was the front ) cut out to cover the electrics  on the left hand side ! Brackets welded on the frame to look very like the otherside . ( bare look without the covers )
I need an alloy dipstick to match the real one in the real tank ,the "project" tank had a rubbish plastic one ..

Not bothered in the stick itself is damaged only need the top

Anyone out there got a spare one for sale

Cheers Amos

Ill post pictures if anyone's interested ?

Hi
Photos as promised . I know all you out there that want a standard SOHC will be disgusted  in me cutting up an oil can in this way ,but to be honest I bought a frame from Ebay that would have been scrapped or what ever, then I've bought all the bits to put another SOHC on the road all be it in a stripped down CafeRacer style, I'm sure some one will appreciate it out there .
As you can see from the photos I've had a scrap oil tank (badly repaired by someone a monkey must have welded it !!!)turned it around and then cut the "front" off so it butts up to the battery holder thus covering the electrics (well I have to totally rewire it yet!) hopefully if some one has an alloy dipstick I will be drilling a hole in the top and making it match the other real side.

Hi Amos i think you are going to have to keep looking on ebay unless someone else see's your advert for one and answers?,  cheers Mick.

started looking at sorting the wiring today,I had a loom from another bike which didnt seem to match any wiring colour I had on my other parts ! so it was back to the manual and a multi meter ! iva attached some photos so you can all see how im doing .
one question though don't seen to have the head lamp wiring with the loom I have does it come with the light/indicator switch which I have ordered.

Hi Amos its been a long time since i was in the headlight messing with the wiring but if your bike was/is a f1 it had the junction box on the left hand down tube and if i remember right the wiring from the switches and horn went in there, but you still have achunk of wires going into the headlight,  cheers Mick.

Hi Amos,

Can confirm there are quite a lot of wires in the headlight, even taping them neatly(ish) to the shell I still had difficulty fitting the light! If you get in any difficulties I can check and / or photo the wiring on my bike if it helps. ( mine is totally standard )

cheers
