Terry
do you know is involved in doing the conversion?
I am guessing you cut a round hole in the top for the cradle, bolt some sort of surge tank/swirl pot inside the tank?
where would be the best place to cut the hol without hitting a baffle etc?
cheers

scored a free 180sx fuel tank today. pin hole leak, get it repaired.
came with filler neck and everything, we had to get a replacement one for a
car in our yard, from a wrecker it's only $140 without the pump.
they sit under the car and allow for the spare tyre well. i will need to
cut and reweld the spare tyre well a little shallower as it's made for a
space saver, but i will be happy with the
spare sitting higher into the boot, i don't ever use it for anything else.
