Ok, this baffle thing inmho the shape of this tank means a baffle is less necessary than the book tank the bbok tank is prob 8 to 10 inches wider and lower so the fuel has further to slosh from one side to tother also if you put a gallon in the book tank itll prob be about an inch high but slosh it to one side and prob miss the pick up put same amount in this tank and slosh to one side prob still cover pickup (hopefully:) ) anyway well see one day and it is a bargain so a compromise it is

yep.

I have more than one thing I can use a tank like that for, so if the 7 never gets built then it won't be wasted..

I always like to fire up any engine I am going to put in a project on the garage floor before it goes in situe.. This will be good for this whilst I get round to the build...

I hopefuly have a pair of good Classic bucket seats with headrests on the way for £100 too... And a 2.9 V6 for nowt........


Just got to work out how to hide a Big White Sierra from the wife :D .... If I hide it behind one of our MK1 golfs she may not notice..:eek: I think I will make up a small frame for the Buckets so my little boy can play cars with them ;)

The sierra just comes with a spare engine as a bonus ;) it will be worth £££ anyway once it's tidied and MOT'd . Will know tomorrow if project #4 is comming to me.

She's used to looking at sierras... Had 12 of them.. and the 1st one has been with me since 1994... It's not quite standard anymore but has been an ongoing ( not on the road ) project since 2000....:rolleyes: :rolleyes:
