<VV> '65 FUEL TANK INSTALL - SUCCESS!

[Matt Nall]

G'day everyone,
Some of you might recall the difficulty I was experiencing reinstalling the fuel tank on our '65 Monza. Specifically I could get enough clearance between the tank and the stabliser bar.

I am pleased to report that after removing and reinstalling the tank numerous times I have finally resolved the problem completely. The causes were many. A little bit to do with my RHD conversion but mainly cause by a vent hose being to long and preventing the tank from 'seating' correctly.

Anyway the tank now sits perfectly now and I am now moving on with the rest of the reassembly of the car. Thanks to all who offered help. Your encouragement keeps me going in my garage down here in Australia.

I am certain I will face more challenges as I progress through the reassembly of our RHD '65 Corvair convertible but as they say, there is no gain without some pain!

Thanks once again to everyone.
