Indian petrol tank

[Greybeard]

After my tank was chromed I had to clean those threads. I bought a thread file to do the job. One of the threads is still tight.

I think the answer is, yes, if you are unlucky. 😁

I bought mine in March from http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/universalsparesuk/
Paid £180 incl delivery. Fits perfect and no leaks ..... yet !
Tank is red/chrome complete with taps,badges,kneepads and cap.
They don't always have them in stock but worth a search.

But did you have to pay import duty?

[Roger (Doomtrainbarx)]

Nope - £180 total all in.

yes roger universal spares uk. i need to know about duty on a 360£ tank from india because it says i am responsible for any duty, so if i have to pay duty on top of that i will use a squeezy bottle  instead

I paid 20% duty on a Chainguard from India. Made the purchase marginal compared with uk shops. I will not do it again.

thanks i have been told it could turn into a very expensive tank for the berger build so i think a home made one with the help of some rollers and my mate the welder will be the best option and save the £££££s for the pub

Berger, I hope we'll be getting pictorial updates of this.

[berger]

hi minto i am waiting on updates from the chap who says he will get the frame to engine ears and the extensions to the engine plates sorted so i can get moving. the frame is sat here in the house so it doesn't go rusty after being blasted and crack tested. there are a couple of cracks to weld up as well.

Looking cosey there Mr Berger.

haha minto it's collecting webs now, i have had several " yes we can do that" answers to my prayers and then been let down. i do hope i hear from the chap who has seen the frame and empty engine and gearbox cases all together. i hope this will be in the next two weeks , according to the last phone call.    john very good cheers
