More Handcrafting BTS with Ian Davis of ETTO Motorcycles: “Showing how I replicate the exact detail of a Suzuki GS1000 base, in aluminium. I had a mould made of the original tank, then from that mould a solid male former of the base was produced. The tanks are made using 1050 aluminium in ‘O’ Temper (softest form) 1.5mm thick. As I shape the material it work hardens, creating a strong, lightweight tank that is ethanol proof. Proper traditional old school handcrafting.” Fabricator: www.ettomotorc
