Title: New tank for sale on ebay
Post by: Rolfbulmer on April 09, 2023, 07:32:59 PM
Has anybody had experience of buying a new tank from eBay? I have seen a new steel and chromed,or polished aluminium tank, complete with cap for sale from a company called ‘vintage-classic-parts44’ for £270. This is for a 1974 550.
They also say they can make tanks to any size.
Is this likely to be poor quality and false economy? Does this sound genuine?

I've seen the listings before - imported from India.
If it sounds too good to be true?
Even DS sell tanks for the 400 that do not fit without some modification to the mounting front rubbers.

If you buy one it will be great if it's as good as it looks - keep us up to date here how it pans out.
