Pattern part tanks are around £50 delivered,Ford tank £200

Try :

Sure its a F60C tank you want,but better check that

Pump cradles go for silly money new on E-Bay,never priced them at Ford

Get down to your nearest Ford dealer and get some new captive nut clips:

3 off finis number 6767592 at about £1 each

Allow yourself plenty of time to get the old tank off - the old fixings will annoy you.

look through the sender hole in the top of any pattern tanks as some cheap ones dont have the swirl pot inside, and this causes problems

Tricky Dicky on the RSOC sells the correct ones

Straps are still available from Ford

The tank rusts and then leaks on the joining seams, top half/bottom half, all fuel tank bits should be still available, I got new tank from ford at iirc £190, strap around £10-15 and pump cradle is about £90

is there a cheaper option for this one for a 4x4 ford cosworth? maybe a reproduction item and not original ford one that splits

thank you
