Bypassing the problem to find a minor hitch.
Well, my self-disastered Standard tank is now up on the dead gas tank shelf with the other one that has rust pinholes in it.
Good ol' Andreas Weiss came through for me big time and my clean & shiny inside Macho Maroon Standard tank arrived this morning. The paint on it is so good that I must decide, do I paint the tank Astro tow truck orange or paint the sidecovers and the sidecar Macho Maroon? My thought that the Standard tank will fit right on a Special is true. Fit right on, yes. Get the seat back on once the Standard tank is there, not quite. Effin' Special seat's nose is perhaps 1/2" too long for the seat tongue to reach it's frame pocket. Carefully take the seat cover & foam off the base so I can cut the base short and make a notch for that accursed filler pocket drain tube. Tomorrow I develop my re-upholstering skills.
