I have had to replace my tank as the coating has been releasing from the
metal and fouling up carbs etal.  

 

The new tank has the fitting for the vent pipe.  My tank had a 'plug' bolt.
The parts catalog shows P/N 206523 for post 60001.   But I haven't had any
issues with venting.  Is that because the gas cap is vented?  

Thanks

Carl

List:

 

Am I  right in thinking that:

Pearl white was a creamy white option for the TR3?

The early cars did not have a bright white?

Pearl White was superceded by Sebring White?

Old English White was not a Triumph color (at least for the TR3)?

Trying to do the white thing...
