PETROL TANK - PROGRESS SO FAR.

Started out life as a wayward road sign .

: PICT0952.jpg (52.65 KiB) Viewed 15645 times

Upper shell welded inside

: PICT0971.jpg (101.49 KiB) Viewed 15645 times

And out

: PICT0973.jpg (44.31 KiB) Viewed 15645 times

TODAY.

Drilled a hole in the rear of the tank shell

: PICT0993.jpg (29.47 KiB) Viewed 15645 times

And turned up this alloy bobbin (to take a rubber mounting strap)

: PICT0994.jpg (32.64 KiB) Viewed 15645 times

Which was pressed in and welded on from the inside

: PICT0996.jpg (16.84 KiB) Viewed 15645 times

For a neat appearance

: PICT0998.jpg (35.26 KiB) Viewed 15645 times

Also spent hours with the wet and dry polishing out the weld seams.

: PICT0997.jpg (41.37 KiB) Viewed 15645 times

Next job on the list is to weld in a base and make a front mount

(still plenty of opportunity for things to go horribly wrong so fingers crossed)

Good to see you've lost the wooden main stand in preference to a conventional side stand. Looking good... :up

Managed to weld in the base without it all melting in a heap.

Green outline is where i'll weld on a fuel baffle box which will hang between the subframe rails and provide a mount for the tap and a bit of extra capacity

REAR LIGHT MOUNT.

Little bit more progress this week.

Made up this alloy plate which will hold the rear light and form somewhere to hide the battery .

After welding it into the seat unit the welds were blended in so it looks like one piece.

And also forms the other half of the undertray

Any clues to wot filler cap you'll be fitting?

Will be the race flush filler type maybe single maybe twin.
Depends on what i can lay my hands on.
