Here's a 400/4 tank (for comparison)

Post by: pae on October 29, 2009, 08:43:39 AM: Might have a use for that, how wide is the channel down the centre, and how long is the tank overall (roughly)

That's just the sort of thing that would happen to me, test piece comes out beautiful and you can never replicate it on the real thing... :(

Post by: Dave M on October 29, 2009, 09:51:19 PM: If that's the original paint I think it's an F1 tank. The F2 had stripes on similar to the 400 F2 tank shown above.

Post by: hector2800 on November 01, 2009, 08:54:38 PM: how different is that to a 750 F1/2 tank the fittings look remarkably similar
Title: Re: Got a tank 400/4 any interest?
Post by: trikerdrew on November 05, 2009, 03:53:56 PM: Not sure about fittings on the 750.

Worth a chance?

Post by: andy120t on December 04, 2009, 09:44:31 AM: I'm interested so long as it doesn't leak!!

Do you still have the tank & if so, can I have it for my Parts Bin Special? as I don't have a tank at all at present.

Cheers!
