Title: Petrol tank Post by: brian on 17 April, 2014, 05:45:05 PM I plan to do the "Morris Parry" mod on the AUGUSTA petrol gauge but I need a tank with the bowl in the bottom that sits in the hole on the scuttle. My tank is a homemade replacement and as it was made without the bowl it is too shallow.
Why mention this in the Aprilia/Ardennes and Ardea section? Ron Francis has an ARDEA tank that looks similar - any ideas? Title: Re: Petrol tank Post by: chugga boom on 17 April, 2014, 08:01:19 PM Brian I have an ardea tank here off my pickup that I could try on an augusta if you like, j

Why is it the spares one has are not needed and what is needed is missing? Murphy had it right. Title: Re: Petrol tank Post by: JohnMillham on 18 April, 2014, 03:36:46 PM Brilliant! Not so brilliant, I'm afraid. I certainly would not have thrown it away, but I'm darned if I can find it - and I've had a pretty good look all afternoon. I'm beginning to wonder if I gave it to someone like James. It had a pair of chromed straps, which I also cannot find. Sorry about that.Why is it the spares one has are not needed and what is needed is missing? Murphy had it right.

Title: Re: Petrol tank Post by: the.cern on 28 April, 2014, 03:08:33 PM Brian, do you still want a tank. Miraculously I have not only managed to hold onto one, but I have also managed to find it!! It is complete with the bowl, I know I had another that was flat bottomed, that is the one I cannot find, so Murphy's law does not always apply!!
Condition of the tank is a total unknown. Please let me know one way or the other if you still want the tank. Best wishes, Andy Tait Title: Re: Petrol tank Post by: brian on 28 April, 2014, 07:36:46 PM Please Please Please!
My geography is suspect even though I did work in Essex last century. Are you near Billaricay? Colin Clamp and I will be meeting up at the Flavia AGM on May 11th in Oxfordshire. |
