DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

The only difference that I found was that the angle of the send and return pipes seemed to be subtly different from the original and I recall having to bend one of the (bolt on) pipes slightly.

As far as I understand the, the main difference is that the Dansk tanks don't have the internal filter. But when was the last time someone replaced the screw in tank filter? Plus you have the main filters inline before the fuel hits the hot end.

Yes, thats the tank. I didnt need the kit, and mine had the same three holes as shown in the tank photograph, all a direct fit to the existing two small steel fuel pipe banjos and the mesh dirt filter. I don't understand what that fitting kit is for, sorry. My research a long time ago suggested that the 3M sealer bags are a good colour and material match to the original rubberised coating. I can try to find the part number if you need it....

Please don't take my word for it, either in terms of the colour match or quantity required - that is what my research uncovered a long time ago. The original old coating would be discoloured, so how can we be sure.

Unfortunately, my painter incorrectly delivered my new tank with just one thin coat (one bag) and the texture is like 60 grit sand paper, so will need at least another bag.

However, the same 3M sealer applied under my new rears wings is a good texture match to the original, and seems robust. That needed between 4 and 6 bags, I dont recall exactly.
