[QUOTE="alscomet, post: 46906, member: 260"] Dear All, Last week I said I would order a petrol tank for my Velocette from India,well here is the tale. I placed an order with a supplier in India who was advertising on E bay,he promised faithfully that his tanks were first class and his packaging would be strong and robust. After a week I received a message from e bay saying that the item had been removed from sale and a usual cause was that the goods were not to be sold via e bay ? or were an illegal type of product ,it continued by saying that if the goods had not been paid for then ignore any further requests for payment,if they had been paid for by paypal then I would have to wait until my due expired delivery date before I could try and claim a return via paypal,if they had been paid for by any other means it was just my hard luck. Well after receiving the message all the blood drained from my body,and I stopped eating currys as a token gesture and went on a complete meat and two veg diet. My hard earned earthly pounds were disappearing before my very eyes and it looked like I was going to have to look for a well rotten british tank. Well would you believe it,DHL on my doorstep this afternoon,big strong box with my name on it,opened it up its my tank,nearly perfect,one of the front lugs is squashed a little but will straighten and the petrol cap fitting is a strange shape but I can alter that ,the lug must have been done before it was wrapped up, it fits the bike a treat, its perfect.If I could upload a photo I would include it,its even primered underneath.
