love it Fabio .... but you might want to work out how the paint job can make the filler caps look bigger, to replicate the proportions of the dry break ones.
either use a painted silver ring round the existing fillers, or turn up an ally ring to sit round them and bond them onto the tank

iv been thinking that aswell. i priced up a proper dry break. 6 to 800 pounds

kiss my butt no way
i may go on the hunt for a big slab of alloy and as you say make up two rings to bond onto it..
@ mac it is finished

. just a few final brush strokes lol

Excellent work again Fabio
Personally welding anything fuel oriented, carbs or tanks scares me shitless
