Thanks Stan no problem, I do have a faily decent coolant tank so wasn't looking for myself, just flagging up in case someone else was looking, I'be heard they're difficult to find in good condition.

I'm still in the middle of welding on seat hinge brackets and the rear frame rails and captive nut brackets.

Ironic that a few pence of steel still takes days of time to grind / fabricate / tack / check / weld blah blah blah!   : )

Yes, absolutely - some small seemingly simple things can take a long time to fabricate, and often need revisiting. There are many pieces on the bike that can be fabricated if you have a basic bench with a solid vise. The most important part is to have a welding machine and an upright drill. Pretty much every missing bracket can be made up and it's fun, if you have a garage space for it. I still managed to make a couple simple things here without it - one small step for me, one giant leap for the bike! haha

If anyone looking, I just found a coolant tank listed on eBay. This might be that $69 one you guys talked about re-listed.

.........and as I suggested before.....At their age they're not much more then garbage...barely in one piece.  Anything fabricated would be a better option.
