[QUOTE="yorchie, post: 93253, member: 2888"] I bought my Vincent gas tank from eBay. Seller : vintage.export . Member since 2009 with excellent feedback. I have also bought Royal Enfield parts with excellent results. Bought my tank in 2016 and was delivered to USA via DHL tracking. I had to modify rear tank mount. Tire pump tangs were a bit crude but I cut them off. A little work with a dremel/small file would have made them prettier. Petcock mounts are at an angle which is the easy way to tell if a tank is made in India. Fuel valves fit correctly and threaded for BSA/triumph/Norton replicas. Gas and Oil holes fit correctly. Front mounts fit correctly. Has lower mounts for V-twin near rear which the comet does not use. Bolts fit correctly on that mount. [/QUOTE]
