Gary Chastain Posted March 21 Author Share Posted March 21 Drivers side fuel tank coming together. Next up, paint frame brakets black, glue straps in place. Visor ready for final fit and trim. Grill was stripped and all the burgers removed and rechromed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jürgen M. Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 nice job on a great kit! Concerning the fuel tanks: I always use cable ties as straps for round tanks. Works pretty well! There are so many sizes to choose from so you're bound to find the right ones! I always use the 3.6mm width. Maybe it helps!

Needed to put the straps on in segments and just couldn’t get them aligned, so I am scratch build a third set of tanks with a slightly longer tank and new mounts. Trying out a couple building techniques on the tank mounts/straps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
