Hi m8. Can u tell me more about how your tank was fitted to your connect through eyelet holes. Presumably u had a large plate to span the distance between frame and back eyelet holes.

im getting it speedlined with 6 inched of the bulkhead getting filled and speedlined too , hopefully it'll stop any flow into cab , pricey though!! Got a local mechanic to fit it as well , didnt ask him how much , hell charge by the hour , hes good though and honest so fingers crossed it wont be anywhere near the £600 quoted elsewhere!
