Swap a non decal one for spiros

As everyone is saying, speak to Charles UK about this.

Whats your real name so we can know you a bit better?!

Hard to tell but my FV8905 is a 1951 and my FV15020 is a 1952 and yours being somewhere in the middle i couldn't say.

Jeremy told me the fuel pipe change was in the mid 8000's so yous is correct.

Jacob

Are you talking about the bit the drive tube goes into?

If so they changed when the support lugs changed.

I need one too!

Saw then too, i would say the prices are somewhat reasonable.

Im after a late model plastic tank, brass chromed exhaust for 40 series motors, long or standard shaft and a 40 series chrome drive leg again long or standard, clutched or fixed drive!

Tank for the model 75 and leg and pipe for the FPC.

PM me or phone me on: 07789 054658.

G means it should have a bing carb.

Change of subject sorry, but has anyone heard from Niander? He had my OP at one point and i'm trying to find out the history on it!

Sorry thought i replied to this, i have 3 cranks with numbers.

Yep, just a shame to erase some seagull history if there is a bare tank about.

Spiro, your choise at the end of the day but personally i would try to swap it with somebody who wants an original tank.

Jacob

Looking good Spiro, what are your plans for the tank, leave original or restore?

I would be pretty happy with the £45 or even the £75 but its my location thats the problem , its FV and FVP bits i'm needing done.

ps sorry for the thread hijack.

Looking class H-A, whats the price of chroming a leg these days??
