If you want to weld a petrol tank the best way is to wash it out with washing up liquid then fill with water. If you want the perfect finish purge with argon and tig weld it but you do need a/c tig.
hi mate
i think that you can still get parts for fantics through bill pye motorcycles in middlesborough, i will have a look for his phone number and address and let you know.
Whilst your on this subject i am right in thinking that you can use a mixture of gear oil and dextron auto transmission oil, if so at what ratios. The reason i ask is that i get a lot of clutch drag.

Threads on most new bikes are metric course. If you measure the diameter of the threaded bit it will tell you the size of the bolt. I think the bolts to the mudguards are m5, i used stainless button heads no sharp edges to catch hope this helps.
