Any ideas where I can acquire one of these?

Thanks

Hi Rob?

I'm sure someone on here's got one they'll sell you but...
If not you should contact TAB in Wales who make alloy tanks and can repair them.
Only a very few years ago you could still find NOS ones in Europe, I've lost the link but
another forum member may still have a link for you.
I looked into buying one until I found out that the alloy ones are actually heavier than the later steel items.😯

So do the later steel ones fit do you know?

I'll contact TAB then - thanks for that advice 😄

Nothing is impossible but essentially the steel ones fit with a front clip and have two rubber frame mounts and a hinge pin, whereas the alloy ones have two front pins that locate in two grommets and have a single bolt at the rear.

Jimmy, if the other gentleman does not speak for the tank, I might be interested. PM me if it makes sense. Thanks.😎

I have one. Messaged you.

I'll try to get a pic tomorrow, Jasper, it might be easier for you to sell to your mate.
