So - while the plan is still for Junior to make up a couple of split tanks, I decided for versatility I'd pick up a larger factory tank for longer distance riding. Was looking for a Triumph tank with the spine down the center, as some of them mount from underneath with 4 bolts, which is my plan for the split tanks. 4 bolts and a fuel line clamp and I'd swap the tanks.
Was perusing eBay and searched for BSA tanks on a lark and found one I fell in love with. Dent free, rust free, minimal pitting in the chrome, cap, petcock in place. So I snapped it up. It's only 3 gallons but should be bigger than the split tanks and just an alternative for fun from time to time. Or it might end up on a shelf in my office till the next project comes along.
