Hey burchenal, what sort of hose did you use to connect the steel filler neck to the tank? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Hmmm....I think it would look alright, but I wouldn't have it if my VL was dark blue. I'm thinking of painting my tank white with black straps (white Berlina), but its going to be a b*tch to keep clean.

Hmmmm, probably not wise! Lol...........BOOOOOMmmm! yeah im interested in this too, it got an original LR tank but its dinted to the sh!thouse. i know if ya wanna weld a tank up the best way to do it is plug a running cars exhaust into it so theres no o2 to ignite the fuel vapour, maybe you could apply this or even a slide hammer and some rivets?

Compressed air might pop out some dents...?
