The Yamaha XS 500 Project

Today again some work on the fueltank.
I couldn't wait so I borrowed some old welding-device from the neighbours to finish the bottomplate from the tank.
The weldings are really terrible but that's no problem, it's only for the mould.
I made the plate about 10CM longer and bend it downwords so the fuel will go to the lowest point later where the fuelcock will be situated.
I also welded a piece of scrapmetal to make it more rigid.

At the rear-end I created a mountingplate for fixating the future tank.

More shaping work is done:

After finishing it I made a cardboard box at the size of the plate and filled it with PU foam.
Guess I have to leave it drying for a couple of days.
