Attached is a schematic of the unit, if anyone wants to have a go at making some. No dimensions, but if someone can measure the distance between the mounting holes on their tank, the approximate size should be easy to work out.

I can't measure the hole centres; the mounting brackets have been torched off my tank!

As far as my attempt at getting the original maker to produce a run of parts, they fell through as cost would have been more per unit than anyone would ever pay. I ended up scratch building a mock-up for my water trailer.
