Hey everyone, I am in the process of building a 1970 SL175 from parts. I have a 1970 frame and gas tank and a 1971 seat, ( The ad said it was for a 70). I don't have all of the mounts but while mocking it up it doesn't look like it is going to fit right. Both the seat and tank are in nice shape so I'd like your guys input if the different year parts can work together without completely altering them. Thanks in advance

Hey thanks for the quick reply. I bought these and most of the other parts for this build off of Ebay. The tank was listed as a 1970 but I am now thinking it is a later model. The seat (pan has been previously repaired on the bottom) was listed as a 1970. My frame is definitely a 70 and all the parts seem to fit separately but not together. The seat aligns right on the frame, the pins fit and the latch works so I'm thinking I need an earlier tank if its not a simple tweak.
