datlow Posted August 4, 2019 Posted August 4, 2019 On the cheap you can fill with white vinegar or citric acid, there’s a few tank repair kits available think a few guys on here have used them and will chime in on best ones/way to do it 1 Quote

tortron Posted August 4, 2019 Posted August 4, 2019 Warm the tank/vinegar up and it will work even faster 1 Quote
Lord Gruntfuttock Posted August 4, 2019 Posted August 4, 2019 Gotta watch you don't use ethanol fuel with some glass linings. I've done a few in the past but apparently the alcohol can send gummy bits of epoxy resin thru the system? Unsure really, but have heard of such incidents. I've also used a POR 15 bike tank kit before, came with everything you need... Quote

Duke Blackwood Posted August 26, 2019 Author Posted August 26, 2019 It looks good, I'm happy with it, but it doesn't pull quite as tight as I'd prefer, so I shimmed it 1 Quote

Duke Blackwood Posted August 27, 2019 Author Posted August 27, 2019 Yeah I did that too actually. I think the problem was that I hadn't quite drilled my clearance hole deep enough on the front side and I had cut one thread in it... so I had threads on both sides fighting... but I've sorted it now haha. I'm learning a lot from this project. I'm not a traditional engineer (gigolo by trade haha). 1 Quote
anglia4 Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 Duke Blackwood asked me to post this photo up as his phone was flat last night. He was having a go at repairing the utterly fucked fairings and found that someone has glued old pill packets across the back of some holes to bog over the front! 4 1 Quote
