WTB - Type 3 Fuel Tank early 70's

Fun story NOT!

So after putting new fuel hoses in the rear, I was surprised that my wife called about her Type 3 pissing fuel all over the show.

I get the sucker home, drain the tank, take it out and it sounds like a maracca. Full of rust and Swiss cheesy at the bottom.

Anyone got a solid one they want to sell in SEQ? I might be able to organise shipping from interstate otherwise.

Muchos Gracias,

Martin.

P.S. This is a daily driver, and we're kinda stuffed without it.

Mate, I might have a couple in the garage, will have a look. Will get pics on here tonight if I can.

Yep, If it looks like this: (apart from the fuel breather being nearer the filler tube)
