Hi Jeff glad you have got the tanks,about time. Did you use anything else to put the seal in grease etc or does it go in dry if that makes sense?
My car is totally stripped at the moment and went for paint on Monday, Not going to get back until the new year, ive always wanted to get her painted so have gone for it, My car is standard and is going to stay that way parts permitting.The car has not been used for a while and was well overdue a freshen up leaks etc, so im hopefully going to get all the niggles sorted out and hopefully have her back on the road next year. I would post pics however im borrowing my daughters pc at the mo as mine is broke and i havnt got a camera lol, cant afford both at the mo as im saving for the paintjob etc.
expensive things these cars lol.
Ill try and get some pics when i get her back.
thanks
Paul
