Allspeeds Posted Saturday at 09:50 AM Author Posted Saturday at 09:50 AM Done abit of cleaning up of said filler area and some measuring looking at the newton site I maybe able to salvage it just previous owner has trimmed the tank but I think there’s enough for a Newton 500 filler to get hold and seal with an OD of 139 mm 150mm would of ment I could drill fresh but 139mm is largest they do which is pretty much were the holes are now I think looking at drawings 2 Quote
Allspeeds Posted Saturday at 09:51 AM Author Posted Saturday at 09:51 AM The other option is to do what MCS do with my race tanks they weld in a ring thats threaded so the filler just bolts on less faff and nice and strong base 1 Quote
Allspeeds Posted Saturday at 09:54 AM Author Posted Saturday at 09:54 AM It would be interesting to see how much he’s cut out if someone has one to measure for me @clivegto Quote
clivegto Posted Saturday at 12:32 PM Posted Saturday at 12:32 PM 2 hours ago, Allspeeds said: It would be interesting to see how much he’s cut out if someone has one to measure for me @clivegto 2 Magnum tanks 1 Spondon tank and a Moto Martin tank. Looks like origanl hole would be 90mm,the Spondon one is welded on. Quote

Allspeeds Posted 9 hours ago Author Posted 9 hours ago Gathers up some proper sprocket studs as some twat had used threaded stainless bolts ffs thanks to @Deanofor these had replated and married up with some TI nuts another sub assembly done jobs slowly grinding to a halt now waiting on main chassis parts back crank cases are being painted over Xmas I believe, polishing will be back 2 nd week in January, and I’m calling for an update on frame today, once things are back though I reckon il have built up and rolling in a couple of hours I’ve already got new switch gear, throttle assembly, master cylinder etc from the spondon so it will look well on its way hopefully leaving me to concentrate on the engine building 3 Quote
