Re: [nortonroadracing] petrol tanks

Thanks Des,
 
Harris were well less than useful, they didn't have ANY info at all on the frames or the bikes and had no idea who made what, this is why I deal with Spondon.

It's possible they may have made the tanks for Harris - they made the original tanks for Seeley and made me a big tank for the IoM.  However they needed my bike there to fit it so if they aren't the original manufacturer they wouldn't have a pattern so you could be a bit stuck!
 
Pearsons have no website or email so you'll just have to phone them.  In fact I think electricity is a recent addition to their workshop - it's a bit "traditional"!
 
Failing that all I can suggest is try and get in touch with Steve or Lester Harris to see if they can remember who made the tanks - as you say they aren't very communicative if they don't think you're a customer with money to spend.
 
Good luck!
Des

Yes most of the race bikes had a Spondon frame but I am restoring the Harris framed bike that Ron Haslam rode at the 1991 British GP. They changed to Harris...
