NEEDED: SA Oil Tank
« on: 06.11. 2010 16:46 »
Need a Chrome Oil tank ( 1963 )  it can be rough ( prefer rust over dents ) I know,,strange request. Here is what the tool box looks like, it was caved in and all bent up, an hour with a hammer and it is usable again. Salvaging alot of old and declared junk parts , sadly the oil tank had rotted out completely on the bottom. Any help would be great. Thank you

Hi Humble Pie,
Does it have to be chromed? I do have an oil tank somewhere which I assume is off a SA since it's not off a plunger. Did the oil tanks put on SA models vary? If you post a pic I'll dig it out to see if its the same - but I know its not chromed. I'm in the UK.

Cheers

Flat sided - little bit round sided - more round sided

All the best - Bill

1959 Rocket Gold Flash - blinged and tarted up  would have seizure if taken to  Tesco

Hi,
Yep, I guess so - the one I saw on Ebay went for £130 which has surprised me! Good luck on searching for one closer to home.

Thought I remembered someone on here looking for one.
Do you still need one?
It might go for a cheap enough price that postage won't seem so bad:
