Andy ,Cant quite remember why they ended up there,but it was after I repositioned the calipers to get the bleed nipples at their highest point.I dont recall seeing a flat on one side of the plates and I havent changed the axle tubes ! I had enuf grief getting the hubs off the half shafts,so I wouldnt touch the tubes!! Grin

So today i decided to get the tank finished,or at least the bits made for it . I found a piece of pipe and end cap,and also an old aly pulley....

 I squared off the ends of the pipe after cutting it down,and made a aly inset for the top,this is for my home brewed filler cap...



 
Afew random shots.........
 Ive since cut down the filler neck height!
 
 
 I also made some inserts from aly for the ends of the mudguard bracket tubes.....

Thanks Andy.Gotta say that if I hadnt found this site,and used the "Manky" style of frame(with a few tweaks!) and associated ideas ,plus took advice from all the helpful members on here,I wouldnt have even contemplated starting,so I bow to you sir! Grin
  ('twas tbone's excellent write up of his build that inspired me to have a go.)
