interchangeable fuel tanks

Are the CB 350 & 400 fuel tanks interchangeable? Reason for asking is that I have a second hand tank which is I believe for a 400/4. However after selling it the buyer contacted me to say it wouldn't fit his frame. Having sorted him I collected the tank from him, and as soon as I got home offered it up to my 400/4- and he's right 😒. Is it possibly a 350 tank ,it's about 10mm too narrow where it would locate on the rubbers below the headstock and snags the main frame tube. The tank doesn't appear bent or damaged so that it would have been compressed, any ideas?

Nurse Julie:
The 350 and 400 have totally different size / shape tanks.

Quick search on t'internet for  350/4 pics shows it's definitely not a 350 tank. i'll take and post some pics

Hi,
I have both 350 and 400 fours and I seem to remember once fitting the 350 tank on the 400 just to see if they would fit.  I also tried the side panels.  It was a long time ago but I don’t remember changing or removing the rubbers and I have had a glass of wine since then.
I have a refinished 350/4 tank up in the workshop and I’m on with another 400/4 at the moment so if you can hang on till tomorrow, I’ll check and report back - unless someone else can do it more quickly.

Ian
