Just got it firing!
Ive just picked up a Le Mans 2 tank from Ebay (will I ever learn..). It's had the badge mounts frenched / filled with what seems to be clear epoxy glue under the more orthodox filler. Following delivery some questioning of the definitely dodgy seller resulted in his mentioning of rusting in those areas. I can work with that but I'm curious about what seems to be a greater weight than I might have expected for an empty tank. About 18lbs. Because of evidence of a failing sealant I'm planning to give it a good wash out with Methylene chloride but if its weight is way greater than it started life at I might as well just cut the base out to see what the hell is in there. Any and all input much appreciated! Thanks, Russell
