W/NG Tank

Chaps,

I've been looking at the W/NG articles in the library and have a question. I had assumed that 'my' W/NG (not delivered yet) had an Indian reproduction tank as the frame 'arch' was square, unlike three genuine Ariel tanks I have (SQ4 and KH) which have round arches as viewed through the filler neck, changing to a square section toward the back of the tank.

So could one of you kind people, with a genuine W/NG or NG tank tell me whether your arch is round or square? A picture through a genuine Ariel W/NG filler neck would be very useful, especially if it showed the cap retaining chain hole and the cap retaining lugs in the neck.

Many thanks. I'm itching to get my hands on it - its in a van somewhere in Europe...

Here's two as I've my mates with me at the moment. They both look square to me

That's brilliant Steve, thanks! It looks like my tank may be genuine after all, its just the cap that isn't.

It's just a bit of a dodgy picture...
