    Hello to all participants, I'm searching for an original Fuel and gas tank in good condition for my WLA Type II.

      Hey Chris,
      I know, but often they ask gangster amounts of money for those things, mostley is it rubbish, because I had brought already a pair on Ebay and they where completely rusted trough and all treats where damaged.
      I need someone who is trustful and honest, hard to find I know.
      But I don't give up, because I luv WLA's and I want to complete my restauration project, I build-up my bike with all original and NOS parts, cost me a bunch of money but it's a hobby.
      Keep in touch guys, if I can help someone I will do.
      Belgium is watching U, God Bless You All.

        You got plenty of resources near Belgium friend. In the Netherlands you have Larry Elias and many others who can link you to a good set. In France you have Milwaukee Belle and Beauty Of Speed. They can link you to someone also. You need to get out and about in Belgium. There are plenty of spares in your own area. Not everyone puts their parts on ebay. Don't worry. The tank set you seek is only a village away. Paps

          Pa...........

          Larry is really hard to get in contact with..and I wish that he would reply to me.

          Been waiting for Months to receive a reply to an inquiry.

          Dissapointed to say the least.

          Liberator42, try JW Boon www.jwboon.com he's in holland. I've gotten many NOS parts from him.

          Also twice a year in Germany, there's the VETERAMA Oldtimers Swap meet, in April and Oct each year.

              Thanks Guys,
              But no succes so far

              JWBoon doesn't have.
              61hemi@live.fr doesn't have.
              Michael Clements doesn't answer.
              Larry Elias doesn't answer.
              S&S doesn't have.
              I searched in de UK - France - Germany - Holland

              I think it must come from the US.

              Keep in touch you never know.

                A friend of mine was it Italy back in the '60's working on the movie "The Longest Day". He told me they got all the US and German military vehicles used in the movie from an Italian scrap dealer that had acres of the stuff. He told me that motorcycles where in piles twenty feet high. I wonder if any of that stuff is still there today.

                  I just missed a fair set from SL @ Resurrection...I think the tanks sold for 450

                  seems like liberator may have some parts to trade, though...

                    rashd...

                    Is it possible to communicate directly with this man??

                    Since I can't get in touch with Larry Elias...

                    I surely will try this contact..

                    He's got some NOS parts that I would like to get.....and replace some more aftermarket items on my WLA
