Hi Nick, your wheelarch is similar to our's i think . I was told that Bill Hodgkiss , might be able to help .

Might be worth giving him a call , if u have his number (i havnt got his number -sorry)

Good to see you both on wednesday.

Think trips means Bill Hodgkins???, I've got his number if you need it. Sounds like a Windle wheel arch from the early 70's, Stu Mellor at Martech should be able to sort you out. :)

You have to be careful with fiberglass tanks and modern unleaded fuels as additives now used can melt the resin.

wheel arch tanks are very vulnerable and a liability,you would be better off with an alloy tank placed inboard.
