Thanks gents. I have already put in an order to John W for the fuel filler neck and cap, plus the turn buckles. The fuel straps I intend to get from John and Mid West Military. I did consider making the the fuel straps and mounting brackets, but the work involved in the brackets looked pretty immense and I just don’t have the time or workshop facilities at the moment.
I’ve made the fuel tank vents, and have just ordered some pipe and fittings for the vent pipes. I’m looking forward to getting the tanks finished and plan to start silver soldering tomorrow.
The one issue I have is the new tanks that came with my Carrier have the holes for the fuel pickup too far forward, so they may clash with the fuel tank strap or cause the pipe to clash. I will just have to improvise adapt and overcome.
