Petrol tank repairs and paint

Forums

Just as I thought I'd got most of the teething troubles sorted on my 30âs inter and I could get on with the ES2 I walk out into the workshop and find that the petrol tank is leaking and the petrol has stripped the paint off the front of the oil tank and the top of the primary chaincase! Iâve drained the tank to stop the problem getting any worse, but am now looking for someone to repair the petrol tank (itâs the soldered pie crust type) and then re-paint both tanks as the guy that did them for me last time has since retired. Has anyone else had this sort of work done? And where would you recommend?

I use Kenny McCullamin Surrey. After stripping back my model 50 tank last week and finding some horrors in its history he will be reshaping, rebeading, respray and coaching. I should have itback next week - delay is in me getting the decals and knee grips to get the lines right. Excellent work in the past with my other bikes.
