I'm in contact with about 8 people who have expressed interest in the tank
outlets. I've fitted both fuel outlets, fuel selector and al.line between
the two. I've got some drawings of the tank fittings but I'm waiting to
borrow a digital camera so that I can send Shaun et al some pics of the
early stages. hope to get hold of one boxing day and will email interested
parties thereafter.
Merry Christmas to all on the site
