[QUOTE="wld50, post: 33825, member: 502"] [b]So what happened next?[/b] A friend needs a petrol tank for a C Comet build. There are some on ebay from £125 to more than £600 from India - so of unknown quality and by several accounts may not be any good I searched the VOC forum for "new petrol tank" and found this thread and specifically "The Spares Co. have produced and sent a jig to India to assist in a more accurate fit, during manufacture" This sounded like an excellent approach but that was in August 2010 Was there a positive outcome of the exercise by the Spares Co.? Did it produce something with the required quality and fit? Alternatively, has anyone bought and fitted the one from WelshScooterparts2009? Any good?
