No Dave, its been copied exactly from the original (repro in front, original in rear). I guess that there should be two venting pipes on the canadian made tanks, but nothing like that on this one. Its british Mk.III, simplified design I would say. Also note the position of flanges - also different.
Of course, there is venting valve inside the filling cover, but thats all.

Ok, I did not know that there was that much difference between the British and Canadian designed tanks. Carry on

Slowly progressing. Some valve seats had to be reamed, some only lapped. Also put paint on few parts - looks much better now.
The good point of this extreme heat over here is that paint is drying very fast

Thank you Niels.
Petr your fuel tanks are different from the earlier carriers. most have the pick up pipe beside the filler. Which way around are they fitted? They look very nice.
