tank fixing straps + tank guard!
managed to lose my tank after getting airbourne once to often! the straps are stuffed and its held on with ratchet straps, gonna order a set from the main steeler tomorrow. as for the tank guard ? IMHO it appears to be one of the few design faults! water and c++p sits between the two and mine looks pretty bad! was thinking of going for 5/6 mm ali plate . easy enough to get plate and access to engineers shop but after any ideas pics/experinences of making same cheers elvis
In my 460 I had a 4mm thick steel plate cut and bent to fit, and I had new screws welded to the straps. I then coated the plate with an Epoxi-based paint and installed it. Anything but resorting to MB parts in this case, where local fabrication brings a better end product and at a much more favourable price...
indeed
I don't know where you are going but MB are selling the straps for 8 pounds each plus the vat. The protector is the expensive bit.
i had to give my chassis number as apparently there is two different part numbers on same chassis(460) who do you use to get them for £25 ? i used main steeler - SG in Swansea . cheers elvis
Main dealer. The straps are different that is why there are two numbers.
i guessed that , didnt think they would have the same part number for the same items!!!!!! sods law says mine are the more expensive , ho-hum!
Mine is also a 460. I am sure he said 8 pounds each. Maybe I will have to pay more.
will get ya the part no. for mine in a bit!
