    I've got a Triumph ('66 Bonneville) petrol tank that's leaking from one
    of the two bolts that mount it at the front.

    Do the FOAK know someone who could do a proper, lasting repair job on it
    please? I'm assuming it will need a piece cutting out/welding etc. To
    make matters worse, the tank's been petsealed at some point.

    TIA

    Ta for that, but I suspect that just being good at fabricating isn't
    enough - IMHO someone would need to be experienced in (used) petrol
    tanks (filling with water, exhaust fumes etc.) to prevent any unwanted
    explosions.

    That needs to be brazed, rather than welded I think.
