It's a tight fit if you put the radiator, inside of the front frame tubes instead of stuck out front as it was originally designed to be.

At one point we were talking of printing a MMMotors calendar, using forum members & their vehicles. If we get snow this year Dave, we really should get some Santa shots of you for future use.
I'd still like the June slot  |

I'd still like the June slot You expecting good weather in June or do you know someone called June  Tank refitted pic shows the sealant and also shows the first of three baffles. Hope this stuff doesn't peel off or break up. Pretty sure tank was sealed before but didn't want to risk having petrol dripping into the pick-up bed and messing up the paint or wood. |

Sureseal made by a company called Tank Care Products. Recomended by Just Bikes in Basingstoke. It's the stuff they use after having problems with other types like Petseal. When cured it stays flexible and looks like latex. Supposedly totally ethanol proof, the main reason older sealants break down. The only real problem with it seems to be the 6 days to fully cure. A bit pricey but the tank was a pig to make so lets hope it works.
Ive been thinking about sealing my tank as a "belt & braces" thing but I'm unsure what to use. I keep hearing that fibreglass resin/gelcoat is the same as these other more expensive sealers, but cheaper. Anyone know different? Didn't mean to hijack your thread. Cheers |

Thanks Rod Sorry Pete, GRP tanks seem to suffer more than any other from the ethanol problem. Lots of boat owners are having to replace tanks. |

I'm hurt Dave. Are your mirrors the required diameter for the MSVA test? They also have to be convex don't they? |

Wasn't being picky Mr Morrag, just assuming Dave's building for the test, & trying to point out to readers who might not know that fittings like mirrors need to comply.
