[QUOTE="Chris Launders, post: 162578, member: 2010"] Somewhere in the pipeline I am making a stainless steel tank for my Brough Superior, these are relatively easy as only the front is compound curved, the rest is just rolled flat sheet, to make things easier I have had some stainless steel bowls spun which can then be cut up to provide the front domes, they will require some reshaping but 90% of the work is done for me, I had them done in 1.25mm so there is plenty of material to not worry about distorting when welded or grinding down and polishing. I made this steel one using sections from an existing aftermarket custom tank and 1mm sheet, this is just Scotchbrighted and lacquered to look like nickel plate. No I'm not a multi millionaire, I made the entire bike from scratch and it took about 10 years and £10k [ATTACH type="full"]53303[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
