Title: T120 Petrol Tank/T100 Petrol Tank?
Post by: andyw1260 on September 26, 2006, 06:47:49 AM

Hello All

              I am desperate for a UK 1968 T120 Petrol Tank (4 Gallon) could somebody inform me if a UK 1966 T100 Tank is the same 4 Gallon Tank, it's looks the same I just wanted to be sure of the size and that the 3 fixing points are the same. As I have seen one for sale.

                     Andy West    

Thanks for your time

They do not appear to be exactly the same, as they have different part numbers, also the 1966 500 (non-US) tank is listed as being 3 gallons capacity.
If the tank you have seen advertised is indeed a 4 gallon one then it may not originally have belonged to a T100?

Hello LAB

              Thanks for your advise again, I am going to a Auto Jumble this Sunday in Suffolk so will continue my search there.  My last posting was about a QD wheel, I have since obtained a spare QD hub for £30 it's in very good condition little used.

                    Thanks for your time

If you mean the Copdock Show?

Then I will probably be there myself!

Hello LAB
      
              It's my local show just a couple of miles away at the show ground.  It's a good show must take a lot to put  it on, there are more bikes in show than the were at the BMF rally which was very poor on classic bikes this year,  Last year there was a French stunt man on BMW's doing his tricks on a small internal road, he was the best I have seen.
Got my bike entered, I get free admission, save £5 pound tight old man I am!!
 

                              Take Care

Andy,

Thanks,

I have been to the Copdock show quite a few times (I didn't make it last year though) as I am (fairly) local myself.
