January 21, 201511 yr Evening all , During a clear out and cataloging of my late father inlaws paraphenalia there are a few tanks to sort out , If any kind soul would be able to help identify what they are from I would be eternaly grateful as I have spent hours on the net trying to find out but am close to causing myself serious harm !! On the Blue and silver tank it has TRIBSA on it and when I searched it I found many but nothing like it . And the Green tank with Velocette on it , is not as it should be as it was being used as part of a Velocete trialer project ! If anyine has any ideas of what they are worth would be good aswell please . Many thanks in advance http:// http:// http:// http:// http:// http:// http:// http:// http:// Edited January 21, 201511 yr by dusty23
January 22, 201511 yr Hi Guy's Dusty. Top don't know. Second BSA B50 1972, probably. Third Special, Probably started life has a BSA Bantam. Bottom BSA C15T "Loaf" tank. Regards Charlie.
January 22, 201511 yr Author Thank you guys for your help , I spent a bit more time looking and would you consider / think / that the first tank is a possible BSA A65 or B34 A7 Gold star . I know it has not got the recess for a badge but there are some very similar ones . It is a big wide tank , I would of thought 2 gallon . The fixing positions / studs are the same but the fuel taps are in the wrong position slightly . But a big thank you guys and you have saved me from what seemed like water torture !! Kind regards Dusty
January 24, 201511 yr the first tank is from an export a65 we used to buy them 4 in a box from MCSi in watery lane birmingham in the late sixtes, i visited them each month to help sid the gaffer sort out all of the stillage crates,that arrived from both bsa and triumph, the stuff they sold off cheap was incredible , things like boxes of 6 chrome lucas headlamps complete with the harness bsa twin cyls and heads, the best was pairs of1/532 amal gp carbs c/with remote float . i was paid in bits i needed for the family bike shop , oh what great days, looking back it is obvious that things were being sold at a tremendous loss no doubt by the accountants to clear up the books, will
