Project XTracker: Fuel tank mounts

I cleaned up the fuel tank mount by making up some spacers to accept a countersunk head screw. You can actually buy a very similar setup through The Vintage Spoke. I figured since I could make my own on my lathe. I used some 1" aluminum round stock that I had from making my front number plate and tail section mounting washers. The fuel tank mounts also match the same design as these washers to tie it all together. Fun little project on the old belt drive Atlas lathe...
