Looking for a Trailblazer or Chief tank, has anyone got one they don't need?

Hi Charles,
you do realize these tanks are different? The Trailblazer is a little less bulbous in the back, you can only see it from the side.

P.S.: Did you try HMC?

Are you going to use it on one of your Interceptors? My Trailblazer tank is a direct  no mod fit on several Interceptors, both Series 1 and 2. That I have run over the years.
Other than fitting up a second fuel petcock of course.
You do have to be careful routing cables since the big tank is deeper and wider.
Love the extra range the big tank gives you.
Don't know how the Chief tank will fit.
Cheers

One of my Chiefs came with a Greeves tank, I think, anyway I need a tank for the Chief to get it going, a Trailblazer tank will do if I can't find a Chief tank.

When I eventually find a Chief tank the Trailblazer tank can go on the Trailblazer that I will build eventually.

So Don do you have a Trailblazer tank you don't need any more.

I do have a Meteor tank, that looks the same as the Chief, but doesn't have the chrome panels.

Many thanks Andreas, but I have an old Bullet tank which looks pretty much the same so I can use that for the moment.

By the way what's the frame you have there?

Yes, it is and the tank was the one I got with it. Compared it to the one I got from HMC and its quite the same, with the differences as said.
