[DML] Re: Need advice on frame problem

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

To remove the fuel tank you do not have to remove the body from the
frame. Check the resovoir for the clutch and the brakes. The one that
is low (or the one you have been adding fluid to) is the leaker. Maybe
both are. Scrape the epoxy off wherever it is coming loose or has
softened. It is no longer adhering to the metal so if it is bubbling
up just scrape it off. Sand the metal, primer, and paint. If you think
it is the brakes look at the fluid. If it is dark it is probably
contaminatd. You should rebuild the entire brake system, not just the
master cylinder. Same for the clutch. The fluid in these systems
should be changed every 2 years. You don't have to attend to the epoxy
paint immediatly but you do have to replace the leaking parts NOW.
