Time to start working on the petrol tank, we make a flange with bolt holes in it and weld the flange to the top of the tank, the thick steel plate is clamped on to minimise distortion during welding and keep the gasket face nice and flat


the cover plate needs holes drilled to fit the feed pipes from the fuel pumps and the return fuel line


we dont have the right sizes of aluminium and no time to try and find it, but we do have welders and a lathe - so we make things fit


a little cutting (this lathe is older than god.......but it was very very cheap)


a little more welding - and we have a petrol filler and cap


long nights working on the car....... not enough sleep, going to work the next day hurts




nothing exceeds like excess....
