Thanks Tossa....I just found the reply........it was buried in amongst  of a bunch of Viagra and porno spam and I'd accidentally deleted it along with them without reading it. Sorry mate. Thanks for the info, I'll get onto him in the not too distant future.....cheers, Mark.

 I know it's too late now Alison but I've got a narrow Sprite/AE fibreglass tank I could have sold you to get you out of trouble. I've picked up a couple of them from the USA, one is the tank that was delivered still holding petrol! If ever you need parts for your Sprite, let me know and I'll put you on to a guy in California who's a damn sight cheaper than the Poms. You only had to ask. ;)

Sorry Firko ,but I did ask in this forum and also two emails,at the time we where also looking for a mould copy,never mind.The more in our Aussie back yards the better  ;D   ;)  I would like the California contact details though.
I believe the AE is too long for our Sprite 64 frame so have got this one coming.Steven ccopied your above pic at work and I have since looked everyday.and bingo got it(short verstion)I'm sure someone was pushing up the price for the hell of it  :(
Do you think its worth making up moulds and on selling them back to the Brits/USA  ;D   and here in Aussie as we have contacts now to start this rolling.??  We could be rich  :D   :P
cheers

Maybe it's this one, my other tank, described by AE as the Desert Tank but in reality only a litre bigger than the orange one. The frame you're using is the same as mine so presumably the tanks are the same. I don't recall the request but I wouldn't have had the tanks at the time anyway Alison.

With all of the speculation regarding just how many Alrons were built, this excerpt from an email from Frank Hipkin the founder of Sprite puts it in perspective with regard to Sprites total output...."But as far as i know Alron & BVM may be only a had a handful of Sprites, that was after the collapse of A/E USA.". Caonsidering he sold thousands of bikes to the USA, the whole Alron output would seem to be way below a dozen, unless more of the locally made frames were used.
