I have been looking for a 1974 R90/6 large fuel tank and ran across the replacement fuel tanks that are made in India, has any anyone had any experience with these good or bad, or know where I might find one. I am new to the group and the R90 is my first rebuild, a great barn find, that actually runs.

A gentleman on the Australian airhead Facebook group had recently expressed his disappointment with a fuel tank ordered from India for his R100. It looked good in pictures, but after a 3 month wait, he received it and it wouldn't fit, no space for the frame....! (let me know if you want the link to the post via pm)
Poster's comment:
"FYI The brand new replacement petrol tank for the R100 from India arrived today after a 3 month wait. Well, it's the totally wrong colour so I thought 'no probs, I'll change the colour of the front guard, side cover and seat cowl from silver to black. Next was to see if it fits. No way. The under side shape is all wrong and does not fit over the top frame tube. The monza cap is an atrocity also."
