Fuel Tank

I painted the mounting straps for the fuel tank with a few coats of Hammerite and seeing that the car is on axle stands for gearbox removal it was a good opportunity to fit the fuel tank for the last time. The filler neck also went on, and the earth strap. I was pleased to find when we did the straps up good and proper I could get my hand between the front of the tank and the De Dion beam, something I was a bit concerned about before. Oh, also we drilled out and re-did the rivets in the boot floor so the flat rivet heads were underneath, instead of the knobbly ends digging in the tank as before.
