You now fill in the bits where the dots are. It's called politeness. You've joined a forum and it is a tad rude to just wade in with demands or begging for help. It's kind of like a shag with no foreplay, it works but it's not as nice.

yes it runs but tank is shot.

[Wonko The Sane]

Have you looked into having one fabricated, there are companies out there who can make bespoke reproductions or is cost an issue?

Hi Chris,
Remember, you're not charged by the word here
Found a pic of a 1947 autocycle, looks like a pre Villiers engine
( the 1950 red one looks Villers-ish anyway)
If you have the original, albiet tatty one
I'd be looking to see if I could get one made as well
Edit:
Just found out it is a Villiers! called a Junior. 98cc

How bad is the original tank ?
If its say rotted out at the bottom, a repair or partial rebuild
may be feasible

yes its an aberdale and the engine is a 98cc villiers junior deluxe,its rotted out round the petrol tap the metal is very thin but I should look into haveing it cut out and puting a new piece in with the screw in tap fitting.

[dodsi]

Wow, how random - I do happen to have a good quality one kicking around waiting for just such an interaction on the internet from such a charismatic and long serving member of the forum.

[MC]

The man knows what he wants

It's better than the usual:
Bike won't start
What bike is it?
Oh sorry I should of said
What are the symptoms?
It makes a sound
You'll have to give us more to go on
Lol kickstand was down

If you're willing to pay that sort of postage cost it may be worth signing up and seeing if the guy still has it.
