Wanted: A7 Star Twin 52 plunger petrol tank
« on: 26.09. 2016 17:19 »
Hi,
Does anyone know of a petrol tank for Star Twin available to buy or p/x please?
At present it has a Gold Flash tank on it, which fits but I believe is the wrong size (volume) at 4 gals whereas I think it should be 3 or 3.5?

Any reasonable condition considered. And yes I've tried our Indian friends and like most of you failed dismally - looks ok, but no way does it fit.

Thanks

Richard

Wow, I never thought it would happen. Thanks to the kind input from Peter I have now acquired the correct tank and its even refurbished and painted in the correct year colour of the silver grey (nickel shortage that year) with red pinstripes. Perfect, so on with the rest of the refurb now!!
