If still available and depending on condition I'm interested in the Solex Carbs, would you consider posting to the UK ?

Hi Guys I'm looking for an xs1 or xs2 fuel tank. leak free and prefer rust free (I Can but hope) I'm in the uk and this part is impossible to source here. Desperate for help.

Hi Guys. Please ignore my above post.:wtf: This is a bit of an optical illusion :yikes:. The new bearing will slip over the welded insert. If I had taken the old ball bearing cup off before posting it would have been obvious.:doh: That's why I couldn't find a thread for this...
