Re: Sunvisor(s)

I just need a used bracket for the second one.

Re: Petrol Tank Again

In response to chickenjohn: Morris Center Bghm cannot supply the tanks advertised and I'm told others do not have drain plugs or baffles. Also won't do 250 miles w/ weber on 1275cc engine.

Re: Petrol Tank Again

Thought I would blast all vapours out by hooking up the compressor to the drain plug outlet. Alternatively have a local Radiator/Petrol tank shop do it. Understand the steel is different and has to be brazed.
