for a S1 fuel tank. Noticed mine has rust on the outer ridge where the waxoyl has come off. Don't know how bad till i get it off. Depending on price and availability i may just put a new one on rather than spend time on it. Are they readily available and how much ? Oh, need a fuel pump too. The outer casing has rusted and the pump itself is starting to rust so gonna replace that too. cheeRS in advance

 

pattern is about Ł40-50....pm TrickyDicky or look for him on eBay!
theres plenty about on ebay and those panel shops online (search on here if you get stuck been plenty topics).

ford one was about 100 and something....ive had both, ford fitted much better but you pay for it!

 

try http://www.bodyshopwarehouse.co.uk/default.asp?go=8

 

Ford say they were Ł180 + vodka and tonic but not available now. Ł62 bodyshopwarehouse. A bargain at that but will it fit properly ?

 

fook was that how much it was? forget now was over a year ago i got mine from ford!

obviously the ford one went on lovely but the 2nd one i got (for a different s2!) was a pattern and tbh not a great fit. i got it on but the strap didnt really reach

 

So the non ford one that did'nt fit properly was on a S2 ? Are the S1 & S2 tanks the same ? How well do the copies fit on a S1, any idea ?

 

well i had a brand new tank fitted to my s1 it came off a breaker that i bought, like i said on your other thread they still need a good coat of hammerite as the new tank i had was 6 months old and was starting to have surface rust... that tank will now see out the life of the car,

i believe that tank was a pattern part and it fitted fine, i have a good spare in the garage too.

the fuel pump carrier if uniquie to the s1 however a s2 one will do so ive been told but never tryed one myself a proper s1 craddle is a concours part now and fetch good money, been offered Ł50 for my spare but they can and do get damaged due to there location under the car the other day i hit friggin badger and that ripped a fuel line clean off the fuel pump as it rattle the floor pans of the s1.

pump your looking at about Ł70-80

 

not sure on s1 mate im afraid, they are different yes...

it wasnt that bad a fit, everything went together just the strap needed modifying.

and as said, i hammerite'd mine 2

 

hi mate we have just fitted a new fuel tank to are s1 we are restoring fitted fine think it was aboutŁ60.00 it was from sel-imperial if you do a search on the net u will find it check out our restoration in rebuilds for pics. cheers paul
