Started my project for the winter to get her ready
1st thing was to get rid of the poor burst fuel lines leaking lots of preciouse liquid gold on the tarmac lol.

2nd ordered 7 mtrs of 6mm inner dia and 8mm outer dia semi rigid fuel line nylon so no more rot once done.

3rd Ordered cotton reinforced rubber tubing 8mm inner dia for both ends ( tank and engine end ).

4th Removed tank 4 bolts 2 each side and five jubilee clips , feeder pipe for filler , breather for tank and 3 at pump
filler neck and breather accessed fro wheel arch drivers side , the other three when dropped the tank.

5th Please be carefull when dropping tank try to do when nearly empty fair old weight if full lol use a trolley jack to lower .

6th If youre lucky the four bolts holding the tank straps can be removed but if like mine use the grinder to remove.

7th Jet wash round the edge of the tank to remove all the crud from years past makes it easier to prise out the bashplate.

8th Remove tank from bashplate prise out using pry bar through holes at bottom easiest way.

9th Start sanding grinding away at all rust before painting .


will post more info as i get to doing the rest also post before and after pics asap
