interchangeable fuel tanks

<< < (3/4) > >>

Orcade-Ian:
It’s just as I thought, the distance across the rubber buffers on the frame is the same on 350 and 400 fours.

I bunged the spare black 400 tank on the 400 I’m on with (and it fits🙈) and followed up with the spare 350 tank with no extra effort.

I realise it won’t help the o/p but might be useful for others building specials.

Thanks Ian, I've no idea what I've got then! it's not a 350 tank for sure - nothing like it. but it's so like a 400/4 apart from it won't fit at the one point ! Puzzled of Sussex  :-\

Orcade-Ian:
Do you have the pics yet?  There’s bound to be someone here who knows what you have, unless yours has been modded in some way.

Menno:
Please post a pic. I am sure we can determin hat kind of tank you have without any problem..

Well it was cold in the workshop but i battled the elements to take some pictures. i have titled the pictures "Query" and "Correct" for clarity. Much closer scrutiny would indicate that at some stage the query tank has had a "knock" or similar as there appears to be a crease around the head-stock area which could have somehow forced the sides together, not much but sufficient to reduce the clearance, also the lugs are slightly out of level on the query tank but only slightly. i suppose i could strip the tank to see if there is wadges of filler to establish the "Knock" theory - do you reckon it could be "persuaded" out slightly or is it a scrapper,shame because inside it's quite good.
