1984 WR240 Fuel Tank

Hello to the community,

I am doing a full resto on my 84 wr240, and finding it extremely difficult to find a new tank and airbox.

Wondering if anyone know where to find a new tank and airbox??

Tank 151411301 (12.5 Lt)
Airbox 151402701


Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Shayne.

tried phil at husqvarnaparts.com?

Thanks for the reply "surprise"
I got and email this morning from Rick @ Husqvarna Outlet and he has one for $800 not sure if $US or $ozzy. But, I found a tank :-)))))

there is a guy posted here selling a new 84 tank...or was it 83? check the last few posts in the vintage left kicker tab...

i just looked and its gone??? i sure he was trying to sell an 82 and 83 tank and i thought he said he had an 84 as well..new ones....he must have pulled the post.

$800 sounds reasonable for a tank. I have one but not looking to sell.

Was trying to buy NOS 84 sidepanels a few months back , they got to £175 and I let them go....

If nothing OEM turns up you can get a new Clarke tank on eBay or directly from Clarke

Phillip has OEM quality replica side panels that are good enough to qualify as 100% authentic and has the panel decals as well www.husqvarna-parts.com

Think Phillip only has the 83 sidepanels? I have asked him before

The 83 ones are excellent I put a pair on a 500 I worked on this winter

800, really ? What a D bag

i know...i sold a really nice barely used late 70s red tank on ebay for under 300 bucks. if people pay those prices tho..who is to blame?

it does not sound reasonable, not in this country anyway

I checked on his website. He does not show for the 84-85 twinshocks and shows out of stock for the 1983 sidecovers. There needs to be a show of enough demand as there are minimum justifiable orders at the injection mold company he uses to give Acerbis quality plastic and form. No one can afford to have ones and twosies done in that environment

I've asked multiple times regarding 84 sidepanels. Sadly it all comes down to if Phillip wants to/can invest or not. His 83 sidepanels are excellent and surpass DC quality by a mile, but unless some one pays Maier(?) to do a production run of shiny 84 versions then DC is the only option.

Who is paying to design and build the injection dies? DC Plastic vacuum bags their plastics. You get what you pay for.

For what its worth it took Maier 5-10 years to do the 83 Maico side panels once an original set had been located to mold from.

Shall I assume that You have a Tank and that You are looking for a nice one for a restoration? If You are just looking for a rider Tank I might have one.
