[QUOTE="vibrac, post: 46575, member: 60"] Indian tanks: The last two I saw arrive were in metal boxes cunningly made from metal advertising hoardings complete with metal hasps but then one was for a Square four and the other a BSA perhaps Vincents are down market over there. I guess the whole sub continent is making tanks so some must fit. My experience is sometimes the body of the tank is OK occasionally they have the dip of the bottom at the rear. but they rarely get the fittings right.and never in the right place. It would be better if they packed them with the tank and get GB to weld them on. Still what do I know for 3 years before I got my vincent shaped aluminium tank we raced the comet with a modified Triumph triple tank! at least the channel down the middle was wide enough for a UFM and welding in an oil pipe tube was not too hard [/QUOTE]

The Series 'A' Rapide was known as the '********' Nightmare?
