Dave,

Where were you a few months ago when I was dukeing it out on e-bay for a DX tank. Looks like a good deal especially with shipping included. Good luck on the sale.

any idea on which one it is? I need the 1940 prewar type.
thanks

That tank is not technically correct for a 40 but it will fit and look the part. As far as I know the only real difference in a true prewar tank is that the screws that hold the tank together would be threaded into the bracket instead of being screwed into clips.

Here is my prewar DX with a postwar to just to show that they fit

someone said that to fit the later tank into a pre-war frame you have to massage the tank a little bit but it's do-able. I'm guessing it has to do with the curved down-tube on the later bikes.
someone correct me if I'm wrong but it has been mentioned that on the 1940's the down-tube is straight for the first 9" or so, this would make the tank area the same as a 1939? and a 1941 would be the same as the post-war models?
maybe someone knowledgeable should make a DX post and outline the history of them from start to finish...
 
if the tank is not spoken for i'll take shoot me a pm as to where to send the funds...
