Hi Keith do you know where this tank came from originally given the wider bracket spacing and the fuel pipe heading straight toeards the chassis?

No, sorry Robert I don't haven an answer for that one... I thought it may have been Dodge T110 but although similar it seems to have a wider filler.

Thanks to Mike C's answer in Tim's thread I now know my blitz turnes 70 this year.

The angles are cut and painted, my hand isn't as steady as it used to be so it is a bit rough.
I had a bit of good luck today while looking for bolts to mount the angles I found two pins to mount the petrol tank straps to the top of the bracket.

Looking great Robert. Cant wait to see a few pictures of the old girl with both fuel tanks on...

Thanks Tony. Today it felt good to finally pick up a paint pot again I needed a break from work so gave myself two hours off.

The tank is on, only one strap at the moment I have to weld some thread onto the other one.
