Check out this RHS tank on ebay.....some goose has converted a LHS tank...and it looks like they have rivited a plate over the hole where the neck used to come out from....AND it's over $200!! :shock:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll ... 92850&rd=1

Yea but the wording is pretty ordinary....It took 3 reads for me to get what he was selling....a dodgy tank that probably leaks!

Probably made it up to use and discovered it didn't fit and now is trying to flog it off.

$200 kev, way to cheap!! i know some guys that want mine and offered over $350 when it wasnt fitted.

That tank would probably be ok if he sealed the old hole properly, you could also have 2 fuel gauges fitted so you can see what both tanks have in them :)
