Ron, have you had these made up from new, or did the engineer clean up the old parts? Very nice!

Hi Tony,
The parts are new I had them copied from that old tank that I had put in a previous post, that had been on loan from a friend to enable me to have them made, the tanks are being made next week the people at the sheet metal works are excellent trades men and do a first class job,
Regards,
Ron,

Default suggestion

Ron, can I make the suggestion that you flip your fuel pickups over, and thread your elbows in on the other side. The result being that that the pipes will come into the elbow at a height more in keeping with the original.
As i said earlier, just a suggestion. Cheers.
