The tank is my figlass copy of a Kawasaki Zepher.
I wound up taking a skin mold of the original CX tank bottom,then added brass 1/4" bsp petrol tap threads, a pair of metal front lugs scavenged from an old Honda tank & a steel rear mounting tab.
The filler cap got recessed into the top along with its captive m5 metric nuts.
The whole lot was then joined together using a colloidal silica/ polyester resin mix covered with several layers of 6oz. cloth.
Then the insides were sloshed with about 1/2 a cup of epoxy resin to seal and fuelproof it
