For better or worse, but hopefully better than it was,
I lapped the tank halves today, and sealed them with
Seal-All, which was the best thing I had handy,
and will slosh some Kreem gas tank sealer around in
it tomorrow.
I barely had enough “spray on” adhesive to glue down
the four sheet of 100 grit sandpaper onto my window glass.
The top half of the tank lapped down in about 5 minutes,
the bottom half took over 1/2 hour, but that was including
the time it took to repair my air hose after the end blew off….
that’s always exciting!

Getting there. The front of both halves seem to be the lowest,
for whatever reason.
The studs seem to all original, and I even put the long ones
in the rear like I was suppose to.

I found some copper washers that I used under the nuts…. it
had no washer before.
Prepare to be boarded!
