Yes and no. Yes they will fit a perfect tank, sadly mine's not...
As you know the tank's your old one. I originally had a carbon protector on my red tank. I took it off and tried to fit it to yours and it wouldn't go. I tried heating it and buggered it up. So I thought maybe it was the protector, so I bought 2 of these new ones. They're the same. Fit the red tank fine but not the black one.
Basically it looks like matey has repaired it slightly on the ****. It's weird cos it looks perfect, but it's obviously not.
Oh well. I might try to heat one a different way this time, but i'm not sure how to work carbon and resin without it going kinda cloudy.

Once the epoxy/carbon has reacted (gone off) you can't soften it with heat. All you do is burn the epoxy and char the carbon. That assumes it's good stuff.

If you have a spare, you could send it down, I'll buy it if it fits the carbon tank.

You're welcome to try the spare, only thing you may not want is that it has '851' sort of moulded into the epoxy. I didn't mind but you might. If you want it, it cost me 18 bucks plus a couple of quid post. U2U your address if you want a look at one and i'll fire it down.
