Featherbed Manx petrol tanks

Forums

Good day,

Does anyone know if the longstroke engined petrol tank for the F/bed Manx is the same as the short stroke version? I'm thinking not due to the cylinder height, but maybe?

Cheers.

79/100 is the same engine height as my Poor Man's Manx ES2  (Wideline Frame)

Not sure about the head height difference though

Any ideas?

There seems to be some differences over the years. Recess for tank strap or flat top. Indents for handlebars not seen on earlier ones. Carb cutaway on some. Ken McIntosh might know as he offers different models. Problem is that most surviving Manxes has had a hard life and are rarely as they left the factory. Also that restorers might lack knowledge.
