I've bought another '70 to '72 fuel tank.
It's got some issues that you'd expect with a fifty year old tank, but one thing that I never spotted before bidding was that an impact on the filler cap has bent the filler over about 10° to the left.
Having had some previous experience with these tanks, I know that those little alloy lugs for the filler cap are VERY fragile, and can't be used as a leverage point.
So I'm just wondering if I can devise something to pull this bit straight without damaging that fragile alloy casting ?
Sheet metal work really isn't my thing, but I'm open to any sensible suggestions
