There is a guy here in Wangavagas who can work with tanks. His work is next to the racecourse
If at first you dont succeed, give up and drink beer

Got a good article on how to make RM B forks as good as Maico's. Pretty simple but you need to find someone with a milling machine. Haven't tried it yet so can't comment on if it is as good as it's supposed to be.
Cheers,
K

Thanks guys. Was told to try sucking it out from the out side eg: drain plunger.vucum cleaner. As for makeing the 370 any think like a maico wash your mouth out. Maico"s have been a curse the last 2 years racing and this class pre 81 looks to be the same.Thanks any way bigk.

A mate of mine put his knees over this MX250 steel tank to remove a small dent in the top. 10 pounds only in the cap breather BANG nearly blew his nuts off. Same mate slid up a TS tank with the flip lid and ripped his ballbag. STAY AWAY FROM TANKS.
