Tonight I will dismount the tank and will do Fotos from the large cutout on the left and the third thread for a tap in the front edge .

The top decal is pretty rare. Someone would have had to gotten it from Fritz. I am a little surprised that the cut-aways for the forks are so rough compared to the rest of the tank.

It does not look like Margret's Comet in the photo. Margret and Fritz visited the UK, as I remember, and sprinted their bikes at an event. They later married.

An interesting project!

The tank is very rough welded and the front fixation eyes are not very good fitting. I will post photos from the underside so you can see that it is a converted original tank. What I `m thinking about is to bring it in the old shape because girdraulics will be fitted on this bike .Erik
