Re: paintwork
Seeing LC tanks are rare nowadays, Here is some trade secret info for you...
I worked part time at Noosa Motorcycles about 10 years ago and the owner there was a boat freak, and the marine boys have the rusty tank thing well sorted.... It works 300% better than POR and other tank kits
Descale tank first with gravel slurry(Gravel & fuel or diesel), use ali bright neat (may be called alloy bright) to clean, put metho in tank to dry it out and coat with epoxy asap as rust starts seconds later.
Epirez epoxy mortar binder 133 (the 133 is important)
Mix 300cc compound, 100cc hardener. rotate tank to cover well.
It sets with an opaque colour, not quite as hard as devcon but close.
You will end up with enough mix to do 6 tanks, or you could use the rest to seal the Besser blocks in your basement...which was the original use.
This is a trade secret product, only to be passed on to trusted kin. Remove labeling when doing it for mates, remember this will help fund your future projects
