Billy - that might work with some situations but this one probably not.......

Seller said she didn't understand what happened. Tank was nice before. Mentioned she used OSPHO to clean up the rust inside. I didn't say anything but in my experience you never use ANY acids on fuel tanks. If she'd only used EvapoRust the tank probably would have been fine.

Anyway......I have this decent White one I picked up in August I could use. Maybe try and get that dent pushed out......

I’ve been making some slow progress on this 1972 R60/5 that I picked up a few months back. Got the headlight bucket completely rewired and the front forks rebuilt.
