On a bit of a re-build of our G at the mo. putting a new sill on drivers side so uncovered the rust trap that forms around the fuel filler pipe. Blinking nightmare place, stack of dirt came out, exposing the usual holes, so dropped the tank. It is in great nick but were the filler tube mounts it had rusted and cracked so new tank time.
I see Terry has one on here, a mk2 original vw one, he thinks its the same apart from an extra return tube on the bottom which can be blocked. Looking at pics of mk2 tanks and mk2f tanks they look the same. Can anyone add to this?
Terry's is also collect only and as he's in Manchester and we are in Devon so looks like a GSF one, £91 plus, have looked through old threads and these seem ok, will need painting and might need some bending - again any views?
Looking at the filler pipe set up, I am tempted to cut it and put a short length of silicone pipe in there joined with stainless jubilee clips and try provide better protection from dirt getting in - any clever ideas for this?
Thanks
