To clarify, you are referring to rubber spacers involving the bolts that hold the fuel tank together? Guess I need to do some part hunting for something suitable.

I would recommend that they be made of rubber to absorb vibrations to keep the thing from shaking the seams and self destructing.

Always a hitch with new parts. The Fuel filler cap doesn't fit on quite right. At best, it sticks out a third of an inch from where it should be. It seems the fuel filler neck on the tank is a bit far forward. Did my best to fit things together so as to no fuel leaks when I fill-up, but I think I can do better. I'm not sure if the neck is exactly advanced forward a bit too far, or at some weird angle _______________________________________________ [email protected] Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html Suggested annual donation $11.47 Archive: http://www.team.net/archive Forums: http://www.team.net/forums Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/spitfires/[email protected]
