Apart from the paint scheme is the 550k3 and the 550 f2 petrol tank the same? My f2 tank has had the tank badge area fillered over and i would like a spare tank to renovate as original, and there is a k3 one on ebay.
-
We have already been though this before >>> http://www.sohc.co.uk/index.php/topic,6307.0.html
To add : Two sizes of fuel taps and there is two types of fuel flaps but, both fit ;)
-
I find it annoying when people ask the same questions time and time again, when you can just do a search to find a answer ;)
-
ok thanks i will bid on the k3 one.
-
An update on this subject, i have just got a tank, and looks in good condition except a bit of rust inside. I have noticed where the tank filler cap is there is a raised rim around it, on my original tank it is not there. Does not matter either way but not seen it before.
-
My advice Mick is to fill the tank with petrol, most important this bit, leave the cap off, now get a small angle grinder and really go to town on that rim, before you know it the problem won't exist anymore.
;D ;D ;D ;D
-
good advice Ken, is it ok to smoke while i do that?
-
Amazing what you don't notice as I have two 550s and never noticed they are different.
The F has the inner lip and the cap has a fold down handle to open/close. The other has a late K tank (the bike is a 77/78K) that I bought through ebay about 4 years ago. It doesn't have the lip and the cap has a fin along the top than is used to open/close. Additionally the top flap on the K has an extra bracket that engages with the fin to ensure the flap will not close unless the the cap is 100% closed.

I also remember "Torchy",Torchy the battery boy" - I loved the chocolate puddles.
On the issue of repeat questions raised earlier I plead guilty.
In my defence when I search terms there often comes up an endless list where one word is is mentioned but the subject matter is not relevant or sufficiently covered.
There is also the fact that sometimes a better solution is found as knowledge increases or new products / parts are available.
Clearly this can be tiresome especially to current & retired professionals.

I was a big fan of Steve Zodiac (good name eh?)
In 1962 I was 4 years old.

I was already a hormone driven 14 year old in 1962 working illegally at weekends as a forecourt attendant and fitting heater units in new Vauxhalls during the school holidays (heaters came from the factory in a box in the boot on all but the highest Deluxe models). lol

Marina was ahead of her time with the trout pout lips.
Maybe I'm confusing her with Lady P?

Ted i agree the search function is not always useful, and Bryan fireball xl5 was my favourite, the front bit of the spaceship detached as did the real life craft in later years.

For my sins i have the box sets of
Four feather falls
Fireball xl5
Stingray
And of course Thunderducks

What about Muffin the Mule (wouldn't be allowed these days!) and Captain Pugwash (Wouldn't be allowed these days - characters were Master Bates, Seaman Staines and Roger the Cabin Boy. And that Pugwash itself was Australian slang for oral sex.)
Luckily I was too young to understand!

As a Pugwash fan that is simply untrue. The origin of that myth is it is likely from a student rag mag.

I prefer Phils version of the cast.

I bow to your fan knowledge Moorey - just cut and paste from tinternet. (just re-read and it does say its an urban myth) - I can only remember the actual programme from my childhood
Muffin was 50's so I'd have been really young - vague recollection

Along with Muffin you had
Andy Pandy(rumours it was banned in some countries as he was always getting in the basket with Loopy Lou)
Woodentops(spotty dog)
Bill and Ben (Flobalob weeeed)
And the one I'd forgotten Rag, Tag and Bobtail
All in a series called Watch with Mother long before colour

And so do many more, thats why the myth has lasted so long and gone around the world. Not in the Black Pig I hasten to add. ;)
Another favorite for me was Noggin the Nog. ;)

I used to have a Tex Tucker outfit, Strangely the guns never swiveled on their own but that didn't seem to matter back then. ;D

Torchy, Twizzle and Four Feather Falls were made in the hall of a big house (Islet Park House, now flats) just 1/2 mile from me, before they moved to Slough Trading Estate.
Tex Tucker was Nicholas Parsons.
And just to bring it back to bikes. I had new tyres fitted on my ER6N a few years ago at their first premises on the trading estate which is Pro Tyre. Their more elaborate (Thunderbirds era) buildings were demolished.
