Widening a rear tub?

[adrianreeve]

I've just realised from HandyAndy's recent thread that having the bottom rear tube that the fuel tank straps weld to in the 'book' place means the fibreglass rear end won't fit. It's too late to change that for me now, as my roll bar rear stays are attached to the corners of this tube, and I've just cut off the beautifully tigged on rear curved tubes that came with my chassis in preperation for the rear tub!

How hard would it be to take one of fabby's rear ends, slice it, and add 40mm to it to make it fitt the book dimensions?

If Saturn are listening, is it something you may consider in the future,a s it would make things that bit easier, and also mean you could use a book fuel tank, along with a little bit more luggage space!

Cheers
