i don't have a lot of experience with ironheads and i've run into a few issues with a 76 basket case i'm trying to resurrect . First off this thing got punched in the nose at some time and it tweaked the frame. I can straighten it but it has a "dimple" on the side of the backbone directly over the top motor mount. It's pretty uniform looking so my first question is did the '76 frame have this feature stock or is it a result of the impact ?
My next question is about the rear tank mount. It had a mustang style tank when it came in and I want to go back with a stock tank. I tried putting what I thought was a stock tank on it (wall hanger of unknown origin) but the rear mounting hole is about 1" off. Were there different length tanks or is mine just a poor fitting aftermarket unit ?
