Following a first fit we dropped out the frame and tank, put wood preserver onto the wooden board and drilled the holes for the mounting frame, we also cut to small additional tabs to help provide some additional structural support to the front edge of the tank, the frame is quite thin here and we wanted a bit more meat in the bracket.



Once in, we took a look at the space between the diff and the tank,



there was a moment of concern about the handbrake actuation leaver, which sticks out to the rear of the axle, this also needed to fit!! in the end, we modified the actuation leaver slightly and also found another piece of ali to act as an armour plate to attach to the tank just in case (don't want risk puncturing the tank for any reason).



I managed to pop down to a local professional hose attachment supplier to get some advice, help and fuel supply parts. Having evaluated the Goodridge ali attachments and PTE Vs. Rubber armoured hose, in the end I opted for steel attachments crimped onto rubber armoured piping. The Goodridge system uses a proprietary size hose and it's REALLY expensive as well the PTE piping (Goodridge or generic) does not really want to bend much so I'll see how I get on with the rubber option.



Swirl pot in situ.



With all this in place we had to call it a day, whilst it does not seem much to fit the amount of got-ya's we've had to navigate has been significant and has drained time like nobody's business.
