hi, has anybody got an original petrol tank or know where i might get one

 

cheers

 

Worth noting that there are variations of the G3L tank, including the tank profile and cutaways underneath. The former necessitated different-shaped wooden support blocks when mounting the tank-top Vokes air cleaner......

 

Early (1941 - 43 ish) tanks have screwed-on metal "M" badges but no knee grip plate screw holes...........later tanks lack the holes for the "M" badges as these were replaced by transfers, but the knee grip holes were reintroduced but now to hold the Vokes air cleaner side mounts !!! Some G3L's can also be found with pre-41 G3 tanks fitted......these have the badge holes, knee grip holes and 3 holes at the rear where the saddle nose goes to hold a thin shaped metal "water deflector".......
