    in summer 84 I changed the original gastank for a plastic one, mounted on two strokes ... but the big bubble needed a lot of space, so I had to cut off the top gill on rear right side.
    Now I welded a sheet of aluminum and shaped it back to original conditions file-26.jpeg file-27.jpeg file-11.jpeg
