My father in law came over and helped me get the tank in, it was a little more difficult than anticipated. My Fuel pump when installed was interfering with the edge of the baffle in this tank, had to put a slight bend in the Alum bracket that holds the pump to clear the edge of the baffle. Holly called for the pump to sit approx 1” off the bottom of the tank so not to pick up debris or water. Just seemed a little wired since I don’t work on fuel systems that often. But after it cleared the edge of the baffle it went in fine.
Even after I thought I did a thorough inventory I was missing the bolts that attach the tank straps to the frame, had to make a run to the bolt store. I was also missing the small frame plugs that rest on the frame to tank.
I big question is for you experienced roadster builders, did you wait until the motor was in to run your fuel and brake lines? I’m leaning towards waiting just to see how everything fits together. I don’t want to punch a bunch of holes only to relocate stuff later. Any advice would be nice?
Do any of you have any pictures of where you mounted your fuel filters and charcoal canisters? Going to get that done soon.
