Petrol Tank - Racing Tank Rest - Long Type (Black Dense Sorbo Foam)

This is a slightly longer version of our black Sorbo (hard foam\rubber like material) petrol tank chinpad (Item 0127c)- which may be more suitable than our normal length (Norton) tank pad, if you have a competition bike with a long tank, or just want to give your classic bike a more 'Brooklands' look.  See item listing for more detail.

When making up our last batch of normal Norton racing tank sorbo pads (which are meant for those petrol tanks that have chinpad tabs to retain the sorbo) - we decided to make a smaller of batch of longer pads - see item photos.  We thought these may be useful for anyone contemplating a 1930's 'Brooklands' style racing bike, or even a 1960's faired race bike with long type tank - but these are slightly longer than our 0127c type - having length and width dimensions of: (nominal) 9.75" x 4.25" and are from our normal high quality 30mm (just over 1") thick sorbo foam.

Just like all our chinpads - these are linished to clean up the cut sides and radius each corner.

While our Item 0127c chinpad sorbo's are cut to a length to be the ideal fitment for Norton M30 and pre-featherbed Manx type petrol tanks, which have clips for chinpad tabs - these longer 0990 versions are more suited to a long tank where you choose your own way of affixing - i.e. two sided sticky tape, contact adhesive or whatever.  However, to give an indication of what they would look like on a real tank - one of the photographs here shows one of these longer sorbo pads loose fitted to the top of an original (roadgoing) 1937 Norton International petrol tank - the standard International tank as shown here is slightly slimmer than a pre-war Manx tank and does not have chinpad tabs
