[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 113168, member: 456"] It might be one of mine but I am not sure. I made one for John Renwick years but that was a copy of a normal tank and the one in the photograph is heightened to give increase capacity. The one for John Renwick was intended just to be an empty cover to hide various small tanks mounted next to the oil tank so that the bike looks more complete. I did make some other tanks in GRP but I used a modified Phil Primmer mould which I gave a more rounded shape to as it cut in at the back for ones knees. Despite what one reads there are polyester resins which will withstand alcohol containing petrol but they are a bit of a pain in that one has to bake the finished product for several hours to cure the resin.
