1977 400F2 first restore project
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I agree PTFE tape is very good even on new bleed nipples - more so when caliper bodies are alloy rather than steel.
With steel you can tighten them enough that the taper on the nipple fully beds in - with aluminium you can't risk a thread strip much better to squash some plastic based replaceable tape.

Finished treating the tank with Evaporust and it has done a great job of removing the rust. The before and after pictures, as ever, don't do it justice. I've put a mix of petrol and oil in for now and given it a slosh around. Once the clutch cover arrives all being well swap for the broken one and then a short test ride before the disassembly stage. Now it's fingers crossed that there isn't a nasty surprise behind the clutch cover.

Did you fill the tank as per instructions or compromise given that this would cost more £100.oo to do?
