1958 VH petrol tank centre bolt rubber
The centre bolt rubber on my ‘58 VH petrol tank is badly perished and I am trying to find a replacement. I have been in touch with Draganfly but was told that they don’t list such a thing - any advice on where I might obtain one? Thanks.

Hi
It was a while ago when I restored my 58 FH, but if memory serves the centre mount consists of a special bolt which slots into the frame, a tubular distance spacer, a pressed steel cup, a washer and a nut, no rubber. There are four rubber buffers on the frame and the centre fastening pulls the tank down onto these.
Regards Mick

This is the part you seek https://draganfly.co.uk/shop/69141/cent ... s/#5060-54 Best method is to use a parts book that will show at least list all the relevant parts, punch the number into the Draganfly website and hey presto.
