The fuel tank we have made uses the sender/fuel pump without any mods but does slightly go over the diff plates.
Just let me know if this is of any use.... Johno

Hi Johno
Any drawings you have would be a massive help thanks and any details regarding the filler neck, swirl pot and pump would be a massive help. I could come up with something myself but without knowing any details of the sender / pump it would be pretty pointless. seems a shame to not have a go at least whilst i can use the tig welder at work. unfortunately i'm going to have to make it from steel as we don't use aluminum as work. i have read about people using stainless which is an option and would polish up quite nicely. obviously heavier though.
Do the rollcage rear braces have any imact on the fuel tank size? i seem to remember reading that this fixes to the bottom of the chassis around that area.
Many thanks again for your offer and help
Regards
Andy
