All the petrol tanks on fleabay seem to be from India. Anyone had any joy with these? steer clear? My A7 one rotted from inside. Now it's in trial trim I need one that is no longer than 45cm otherwise it will foul the seat. I'm actually not sure how long a standard A7 tank is as my original is long gone. It's been running around with a cobbled together setup of non BSA tank and seat but now I have the proper scrambler seat mounted I have found the current tank is too long (only just at 47cm!) unless I start moving the rear seat mounting bracket and re drilling the rear mudguard which I don't want to do. Anyway I mocked it up with the seat slightly further back but then it doesnt sit properly so I'd rather have it in the proper position and a tank that fits!
Any advice, recommendations would be gratefully received. I assume a "proper" scrambler tank would fit and pick up on the central mounting point but again I'm not sure about this, or even what constitutes a "proper" scrambler tank!! I could even go back to an A7 tank if anyone knows (or would kindly measure) the overall length?
Cheers
