Bill - 

(I am assuming that this tank is fi-glass)  By my (somewhat shaky) memory,  I think the Miller tanks used a "Ceandess" bayonet fit cap, of this type :-

Not sure of the size, you must measure.  Feked.com took over the Sammy Miller Products brand a while ago.

Hope this helps - good luck with the rebuild .....

Hi Bill, I have sealed several fibreglass tanks with success using Slosh from Draganfly Motorcycles. It is a job best done in the summer when you can be sure the inside of the tank is bone dry. I use caustic soda to clean out any muck and residue of oil that may be left. I do this several times then be sure to rinse out with lots of hot water each time. Be extra careful, it is nasty stuff. Keep any youngsters and animals well away !  Done slowly and carefully sealing your tank will be fine. Hope this helps.......

Thanks johnjsy,

I'd like to try reuse the tank as it's in good nick , for the minute I might fill and drain it as and when I need to use it .... Then sort it in the summer , I'm not too far from firing it up soon so I'll post more pics when it's progressed more

Regards

Bill

It's a few shades paler than it should be alright but I'm building it to use so not an issue for me , it was what the powder coater had at the time ..... Any day now it should hopefully fire up for the first time in 15 + years, I'm still trying to source a pair of handlebar clamps if anyone can help thanks

Plenty of things to get on with in that project , at least they're super simple bikes and all the major parts are handy to get , it's nice to bring another one back from the dead I have a lot of projects in my shed the oldest at the minute being a 1965 Bridgestone . Good luck with the work Robbie .......

No it was my own stupid fault I was holding it in my hand as I was tapping the gudgeon pin in with a small hide faced hammer and it had gone slightly skew ways it had snagged the circlip groove and next thing I looked and saw the crack ? at least I have a spare engine to get some bits from .....
