[QUOTE="b'knighted, post: 53205, member: 59"] Many thanks all. I discussed this with several people at the excellent Severn Rally. Getting a guided tour of Stu Spalding's tank I saw his minimal cutaways for Girdraulic clearance and later Brian Chapman removed his tank bag to allow photographing of the larger cutaway behind his oil filler. It was during this discussion that an Indian tank, very similar to the one I am marking up for cutting was produced and someone said that details of the the enlargement was in Forty Years On. Not being able to find my copy (it's definitely not in Roy's shed) I couldn't look it up or confirm the article's existance. My plan involves putting a vertical dam up the right of the tunnel to give a separate reserve tank, effectively making a smaller than main left tank and a larger than reserve right tank. Although they will be linked by the feed pipes the intention is to only turn them on one at a time and to use them, and fill them, separately. This is related to my reserve paranoia caused by living in a rural area where all the independant petrol stations have closed. It is often over thirty miles between petrol stations and a major detour only to find the garage closed can easily leave you stranded in an area with no phone coverage. Stuart's extended oil filler cap is a rocker cap fitted to a tube with an internal flange and two lugs to fit as did the original but stand just proud of his raised tank top. [/QUOTE]
