Default EB4 Fuel tank mounts

Dose anyone know a way of modding the standard fuel tank mounts on a Thunder Tiger EB4?
Am onto tank no.3 now, each one has sheared off the rear mount. Have got someone who will make one out of stainless, but i realy dont want to add the extra wheight

Thanks DA

No sorry............but if you remove the rear wing (i had a spare one ) the alloy posts all you need to do is remove the little end bits with a file or dremel and then fit were the plastic tank supports are.

Topoptions are good for TT spares, but the best upgrade for a TT EB4-S2 is an S3....

Or try [link=http://www.sussexmodelcentre.co.uk]SMC[/link] as they have a van over at Amerang the importers of TT stuff twice or 3 times a week. Not sure if they list all parts online though you may have to email your requirements. They're best for me as they are less than 4 miles away and Amerang are even closer
