WIDELINE PETROL TANK PANEL SET

THE VERY FIRST WIDELINE PETROL TANKS WERE PAINTED AND HAD A NORTON TRANSFER 1952-1954. THE TRANSFER WAS THEN REPLACED WITH A ROUND PLASTIC BADGE. THESE EARLIER TANKS ARE A DIFFERENT SHAPE AND WILL NOT ACCEPT THESE CHROME PANELS.
ALL THE WIDELINE PETROL TANKS WITH THE NEWER SHAPE WILL ACCEPT THESE PANELS, THEY SHOULD HAVE 4 SMALL HOLES, 2 AT THE FRONT AND 2 AT THE REAR. PLEASE SEE THE PANELS FOR THE POSITION OF THE HOLES.

CENTER TO CENTER REAR HOLES APPROX 4.150" (105MM)
SLOT LENGTH .450" (11.5MM)

ALSO SEE 20261/2P FOR A PAIR OF CHROMED AND POLISHED PANELS AND 20261/2R FOR A PAIR OF RAW PANELS (UNCHROMED)

CONSISTING OF:
2 X POLISHED AND PLATED (IN THE UK) TANK PANELS.
1 X LENGTH OF PLASTIC TRIM TO GO AROUND THE OUTSIDE OF THE PANELS. BLACK (ONE LENGTH DOES BOTH PANELS)
2 X TANK BADGES
2 X KNEE RUBBERS
1 X GLUE FOR RUBBERS
4 X 4BA x 7/8" STAINLESS RAISED HEAD COUNTER SUNK SCREWS FOR THE TANK BADGES
4 X 1/4" BSF x 1/2" STAINLESS COUNTER SUNK SCREWS

THERE IS A DEBATE REGARDING THE SIZE OF THE SCREWS, SOME SAY 3BA SOME SAY 4BA. I ALSO HAVE A VERY VERY OLD NORTON DRAWING ASKING FOR 3/16" B.S.C. THE HOLE IS SMALL AND OFTEN FILLED WITH PAINT OR RUST SO ITS NOT EASY TO DETERMINE AND AT THE SAME TIME ITS QUITE LIKELY THE SIZE CHANGED OVER THE YEARS.

DIMENSIONALLY THESE THREE SCREWS WOULD BE:

                   MAJOR DIA.         MINOR DIA.           T.P.I. (PITCH)
3/16-BSC      .187" (4.7MM)     .154" (3.9MM)        32
3 B.A.           .161" (4.1MM)     .126" (3.2MM)        34.8 (.73MM)
4 B.A.           .141" (3.6MM)     .110" (2.8MM)        38.5 (.66MM)

IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO RUN A TAP IN THE THREADS TO CLEAN THEM OUT.
