Re the F plastics, if he wants oem he'd have more luck finding yellow ones from the US. Otherwise there's DC

depending how much money he wants to spend he can get a new YZ250 (fits 465) tank from Xtreme YZ in the US.

I have one on my 250.  Fits well and is actually white.  Very minor shape variation from the 250, but miles off the Euro 465.
Looking for YZ250C parts NOS if possible

"My inability to use emoticins in the right context is really getting me down :)
The only triple jumps he would have been doing are the hop, skip & jump.

he has a 250 Tank on the 465 and it does fit well, he wants the 465 tank on to make the bike original.

The f plastics are unique to that model and a bit intricate, especially the airbox lid. I'd seriously recommend buying a yellow one and painting it.
He can then be riding the bike while he waits a couple of years for a white one to turn up under a pile of rocking horse poo.
