Managed to get the internal fuel tank cover removed tonight. Only 30 round head slot screws to cut through. My original plan was to try and reuse them. However pretty much everyone was heavily rusted in place or I was unable to get a wrench on the nuts on the back side. As for the fuel tanks, the one tank end has been blown out, I suspect during the fire. Otherwise the tanks look pretty solid. I’m hopeful it can be worked back into shape and sealed up. It’s also great to see the detail on how the fuel lines and gauge sender wiring was run.

Convoy light restoration completed. New green wire with proper cloth covering. The metallic shielding is a repurposed NOS Otter fuel tank wire. I cut it down to match the original which was no longer usable.

Thanks guys for the feedback.
Well tonight I managed to finally remove the fuel tank. But first I took a bunch of pictures to capture how everything with the fuel lines and electrical went together.

Detail pictures of the fuel tank. It’s pretty solid but did rupture during the fire. My thoughts are to repair this tank vs making a new one.
