Help identifying a petrol tank
« on: September 25, 2025, 11:09:14 PM »
Hello, I have been unable to identify a fuel tank that came with a BSA A10 basket case project. I can find tanks with the emblems but with no tank mounted speedometer or I can find plenty of tanks with the speedometer opening but not with these particular emblems. Any help would be appreciated

Hi All,
I'm fairly sure its from a 1947/48 BSA A7

Could the tanks for 1947 C10 and A7 be common  ?
Might need parts books to say for sure.

Perhaps a PO was going for that retro look......

Looks like a late 1940s C range tank I have, and also looks like the A7 tank in the photo.
