The tank accepts a cateye dash and includes a 1/4 inch C-shaped lower bracket, ensuring a secure fit and authentic appearance. Before installation, it is recommended to check the tank for flaws or fitment issues, and to clean the interior thoroughly. Using a pressure test and tank sealer, such as the Kreem Gas Tank Combo Kit, can help prevent leaks and corrosion, extending the life of your fuel system. The kit requires careful hand fitting to align the dash and fuel line properly, and shimming may be necessary during installation to achieve the correct height. The set includes four stainless steel emblem trim strips, adding a distinctive aesthetic touch to the tank. Additionally, the shut-off opening should be checked to ensure the shut-off valve can be installed easily; masking or plugging the fitting during painting will facilitate this process. It’s vital to inspect the tank for flaws prior to painting, and avoid grinding or sanding seams or joints to maintain structural integrity. The kit is compatible with various accessories such as the Fat Bob 3.5-gallon gas tank, replica Eaton vented caps, and emblem sets, making it a versatile choice for restoring vintage Harley Davidson motorcycles. Crafted in Taiwan, this kit is recommended for use with specific emblem trim sets and the Kreem gas tank sealer, ensuring a professional-quality restoration.
