I am newly able to replace damaged "JAWA" logos with new ones. They can be used on the Special, Villiers and Robot. In some cases, modification using small milling cutters suffices, but only as improvement, not a 100% solution.

 

Other saved Indians. Some tanks only need taking to pieces, hammering, cleaning and general repair, but some have a "starry sky" for long evenings.

Repair of a crumpled Harley Davidson fuel tank. In this case, the sheet metal was very thick and resilient for the job, but it finally yielded to our effort.

Repair and chrome-plating of interesting fuel tanks without logos or lettering.

Probably the greatest challenge and most demanding repair of two "Ogar" fuel tanks. One of them was dented on both sides. It was a job for quite a few evenings. The most difficult part was re-shaping the lettering and the side radii. I had to make several special fixtures and finally succeeded. The greatest reward was Mr Tomáš Blažek, a satisfied customer and very pleasant person.

 

Repair of a rusty Jawetta fuel tank. This tank underwent a general repair – cleaning, the "starry sky" tinning, welding, pressure testing, inner compound application, painting and line-drawing.

Another interesting fuel tank repair, this time a Harley Davidson composition. At first glance, the tank had just a few holes, but the horror became apparent after sandblasting, which revealed a true sieve. I need to say that the American putty resisted so much that the sandblasting only succeeded at about 10 percent. The rest demanded mechanical removal. Then followed the endless story of tinning the individual holes. The tank was welded, pressure tested and internally pour-treated with a special compound. I am sure the owner is happy with its salvation. It will continue to serve for years to come.
