Cheers guys !
Hopefully I should roll her out next week when I get back from Suffolk ! And get the engine pack installed. I still need to make the fuel tank floor mounts, which look like they may be a bit of a nightmare... Was thinking about flattening one and getting it copied for laser cutting. Worst case scenario being I just run the machine from a jerry can for W&P

Do you know someone with a boat fuel tank?
A 4 mm welding rod makes a good source for the pins.

Cheers, I have the straps and the base mounts for the turnbuckles, along with one turnbuckle (one missing) so it's just the floor "standoffs" I need to sort.
Anyone tell me how much oil I need to fill the gearbox and diff with ? ( I am on holiday and my books are not to hand) just going to order some oils online :-)

Those same turnbuckles are available today from Aircract Spruce. They are expensive but then again they are rated for aeronautical use. I don't have part numbers handy though.
I also just redid my original fuel tank. Poured muratic acid in. Let it sit on each side for a couple of minutes then sloshes it around to get the baffles. Rinsed out with many gallons of water and a box of baking soda. I then used the tank etch and sealer from Mac's AutoParts. Did two coats of sealer and it looks great. I also soldiered up three pin holes before sealing the tank.
