The plastic tank's gotta go Jim . One of the defining and really cool things about the 'Orange Crate' Montys is the fibreglass tank, there's nothing else like it.

he also ported and fitted a huge reed valve to a cz380 barrel last year for me as well
lee is 1 top bloke and if you want to send him your motor he can rebuild it for you as well
