Hey

I'm building a B40 and i'm looking for a victor style fueltank that covers the head of the engine i have tried the Sammy M. tank but that sits ontop of my engine and that is not verry nice

any idea where i could buy that sort of tank?

regards bob

If i remember rightly Surry Cycles used to sell a BSA Vistor style alloy tank. Might be worth giving them a call?

Hi

Last time I asked, recently, no more alloy tanks from Surrey Cycles.

I think the only 'off the self' items are from Millers or Terry Weedy.

Try www.terryweedy.com.

Hi Guy's,

Yes Terry Weedy! tank made of 2mm thick alloy,sort of Victor , but does not sit that far down,only normal. Burton Bike bits also do alloy tanks for BSA's, Dave Varley does a glass fiber one, along with some one else ,that I can not find, Ray Small used to have these. OTF had one fitted to his B40. so perhaps he knows , or was it e-Bay? Faber may have one listed, but could you ,buy one? Just looked at Dave Dawson's site and he has Steve Gagg making him a tank for his C15 at the moment. No pics of it yet, I'm sure Dave will put one on when it arrives.

Regards Charlie.

yes Charlie i did have one on my old B40 as you say, how is the old girl BTW ?, which i bought from Alan Whitton but i dont think he has any left. However the question was about a Victor tank which is a lot different to my old one.

Steve Gagg will make you a tank to whatever shape you want. I was round there the other day, he only lives about 2 miles away, and he was very busy so knowing Steve it might take him a little while. Well worth a try though if you can wait.

hey tnx for al the help,

it does not have to be a victor tank but i guessed they are easyer to make with the wide tunnel

i wil put a pic of the build up but i dont know how i can do that

Hi Bob,

The best way to put photos on here is to become a "site supporter",then its easy,just upload then from your library. Ahy Andy.

Hi OTF,

The "OLD GIRL" is fine, she is tucked up in her well insulated home along with some older relatives, and a few younger, whipper-snappers, you will have to visit her one of these days.

Regards Charlie.

Hi Guy's

Hi Dave,

That bike of yours just keeps getting better and better by the day, but then you have got a first class engineer, in your dad haven't you. Nice job that Steve has done as well hey? Hope to see you at the trial later in the year. I have noted that you were the second person to show intrest. keep up the good work.

Regards Charlie.
