52 Year Old Glazed Ham Restoration..... Oh Wait, Maybe Its a Fuel Tank!

Welcome to another RRC Restoration. This weeks video is a bit different as its not my bike im working on its a customers bike i have been asked to do a few little jobs on. So the motorcycle itself is a Ducati Monza 160 junior made in 1969 and has been laid up for a few years now so the owner has asked me to restore the fuel tank back to factory spec and give it a good service and going over to make sure the bike is in good condition to hit the streets again. So the first job on the list is to remove the fuel tank, but in order to do that i need to remove the seat unit first this is done by remove the two bolts at the rear of the seat and then it just lifts off. The tank was also drained by using my siphon pump so that i didn’t end up spilling fuel everywhere. I then disconnected the fuel lines running to the fuel taps and undone the two bolts holding the front of the in place, then it was simply a case of flicking a spring off and lifting the tank clear. I then took the tank to my worksho
