The worst feature is the bottom spigots are lower than they should be. If you plan to top and tail it to clean it out, find another bottom tank, with the right ones. You will have to cut the side plates, to fit your engine covers and frame. Top spigots are easy. Cap needs to be in the middle, or access will be a problem. It is important to seal it up well, to stop the air washing back around. Not fitting all the shrouds, and seals is one of the big causes of overheating in rebuilt carriers.( My opinion)
Ron. The bottom spigots on Brit /Canadian carriers are straight out the back(high) of the bottom tank, and as you know, the Aust carrier one is the one that comes off the bottom corner(medium). Other Fords have them come from the bottom, and do a 90 degree to the rear. (low)
