Brilliant job. The tank looks the business. The filling with the solder looked superb. No, you hang up. God bless.

Cheers. Peter.

Thanks Peter, it was a nice surprise to find no rot.
Best wishes, Dean.

Thanks Dean, you've inspired me to have another go at filling the small pinhole in my A50 tank, the JB weld didn't stand up to modern fuel but solder should!

[@retromechanicalengineer]

Thanks Ian, it should do the trick. Hope the Bonnie is coming along.
Best wishes, Dean.

Nice job at the lead wiping it really did come up well. It's always a bit reassuring to have at tank at that stage so you can park it up without it deteriorating at all. I didn't realise it was as pitted as it was on the bottom until you painted it. It looks like a high fill primer would fix the minor blemishes so that won't be an issue. Fingers crossed for next week.....................

[@retromechanicalengineer]

Thanks mate, it's really appreciated. I was pleased with the leading, it was one of those 'why not' moments. I'll keep in touch, Dean.

Great job Dean. Methodical would be a one word description of you work.

[@retromechanicalengineer]

Thanks Jack, it's the only way I can remember what I've done!

Good job on the saving on the tank. What is the brand of liner you are using here.

[@retromechanicalengineer]

Thanks Cain. It is Wagner Tank Fix. Made in Germany.

[@cainbeeping8480]

What are the Green lanes ??

[@retromechanicalengineer]

Hey Cain, what you might call 'Cow Trails '. They are unsurfaced roads but are still legal to ride (at the moment!).
