Happy New year to all. I trust everyone had a good one. I am back from a cruise around New Zealand and it certainly is a most beautiful country.
I am doing the fuel tanks as I want to close in the back to complete the hulls.

Quite a few angles to these tanks and they have a very solid baffle in there as well.

Both fuel tanks are completed and test fitted.

Would there have been baffles, in them originally?

Hi Neil, yes the baffle I made is the same as the original tank I have. I would like to use the original but it is just too far gone with the bottom and rear eaten out but it does give me a look inside to see what is there.

How, or were, the tanks secured, Colin?

I thought I saw an angle iron strip along either the base or back, but that might just have been a form of standoff to keep the tank separated from the hull. Or my eyes playing tricks on me.
