MAKING MOTORCYCLE GAS TANKS
In this two-part series, Ron Covell goes through the process of making two very different motorcycle gas tanks. Part 1 shows a chopper-style tank being made from steel. Design, layout, patterning and buck construction are shown in detail. Hand shaping is demonstrated, as well as the use of a manual shrinker and the bench-top English wheel.
Part two shows a comma-shaped tank being made from aluminum. Design, layout and patterning are shown, along with annealing, hand shaping, and metal finishing. Both the bench-top and full-sized English wheel are demonstrated, and both TIG and gas welding are utilized. The tank is leak-tested, and a method is shown for making hidden rubber mounts.
