My new replacement was sold as suiting the 3dr or 2wd mate - not that I have noticed any difference with the 4wd models myself.

Gary at Portsmouth RS Breakers advertises them for the 3DR and 2WD so I guess they are the same.

Dont powdercoat the tank till you have made sure the internal swirl pot is Metal and not plastic. The repo tanks are sometimes fitted with plastic swirl pots which will melt if powder coated.
