To answer your question, yes, that is the tank for your Mercury made Elgin (note the rounded opening for the tank-only bike like that). They made the long tank, a tank with a tool box and a short or regular length tank. They are easy to spot with the peak running down the length of the sides of the tank.
The other repop tank in question fits Columbia (Westfield's flagship brand), Westfields and other odd brands, and some Elgins made by Westfield. And it is the correct tank for the blue Westfield pictured earlier in the thread. That tank is also available through Memory Lane for $25.

cman said:Joe, Thanks for the Heads up but I think I have spent my budget for a bike. I kinda like it without the tank anyway. There are some many curves and cool joints that I would hate to cover up. I picked up some cool wheels- gray skiptooth, forks, seat, and truss roads for it. Just need to get some tires.
