The tank has been an odyssey. This Davega girl had no tank when I bought it, but I'm fairly certain it had one originally. First, I had to determine what were the correct graphics. This question was answered by an image of the Westfield "50" Series F50T, provided by a fellow Michigander
@cds2323 , and which appears above in my first post of this thread. While I searched for the original brewster green/ivory tank with these graphics, I acquired the blue Westfield tank also shown in the first post above. The plan was, in case no original could be found, I would patina paint this one to match. As you can see, the graphics on this blue tank are the same as the the ones on the tank of the Westfield Model D70S, whose catalog page also appears in my first post above. I had assumed that the tank of the F50T and the D70S were the same, only painted differently. As I was preparing to paint the tank, I reached out here on the CABE to see if anyone actually owned a Westfield bike with this teardrop graphic. Even if not for sale, I was looking for a closeup image and dimensions of the ivory teardrop. Chris
@fat tire trader responded, saying that he had a black/ivory tank and it was for sale. I didn't need another off color tank, so I asked and he was helpful in providing me with pictures and teardrop dimensions from his tank. That's when the project took a couple steps back. Turned out that his teardrop graphic was as long as my entire tank. Something wasn't right. Upon more careful review of the F50T and the D70S images, I noticed that the D70S tank only comes down to the small support tube connecting the frame's two down tubes. This tank is relatively short. On the other hand, the F50T tank reaches down beyond that support tube. It's a couple inches longer!!! So, I bought the black/ivory tank from
@fat tire trader and it arrived today. This is super helpful because not only does this Westfield tank have the correct dimensions for my Davega, but now I can trace the teardrop and be able to reproduce it accurately once the tank is converted to brewster green. Anyone need a clean and primed D70S style tank? Finally, the last part required for this project is a working horn to fit the F50T tank.
