interesting that the baffles on a T16 tank run lengthways rather than width ways like earlier universals

the slot in the baffle is for guiding the sender arm. ( sorry if thats obvious). Not sure why they would be set the other way around, other than the fact the T16 climbs better than a U/C and spends less time on its side !

Does anyone know what sort of acid dip I should go for if i can find someone locally? I had heard that the guys that do furniture stripping can do this sort of thing. My nearest specialist company I know about is 240 miles away, so really looking for someone near Kent.

if it was me i would sink the tank in mollassas... gets rid of the rust will take a fortnight but its not as invasive as acid and will get the metal pristine, then re seal it with POR solution
