Lots to start with Dusan.
What is the channel piece to the right of the fuel tank? Is that part of the spare wheel holder?

Hi Jack,
thats actually the fuel tank holder platform. I initially wrongly identified it as the spare wheel holder, but it fits on the left side of the chassis just under the tank. So I am also missing the spare wheel holder. Not sure if you got my email, but I have a spare fuel tank which could be yours. Clean inside, but has a dent on one side and the lid is missing the lever (see picture). It is very heavy however so the transport to OZ might be quite expensive...
