fuel tank gaurd

i am going to have to drop the fuel tank on mine as the bash plate is rotten and the tank is fixed on to it. looks like i will have to replace the tank straps as well because they are no longer there they have rotted away.
i was going to replace the fuel pipes as well as they dont look as if they will last much longer.
i am going to use griflex tubing only because i have rolls of the stuff.
i will get the rear chassis scraped then under sealed at the same time.

At least it will be done right then and save any hassle when you are puting her through her paces

You might as well do it now when you have to take so much of any way nothing worse the sorting one problem putting it together then having to take it all apart again to fit something else

thats what i was thinking if i get it all done then i will have peace of mind. i take its ok to use griflex as fuel piping

fuel tank is out and just as well the pipes where rotten and just crumbled away

i also need a new filler neck as the last one was made from gaffer tape and fibreglass

He he nicley done mate better to get all these probs sorted now rather than later

at least all the fuel tanks are the same on the frontera so i should get a tank guard and filler neck from the scrappy i will just make tank straps for it .

Thats true mate all the tank straps are bad for rotting on them.

I know it might be a bit far but there was a n reg fontera in the alness scrappy when i was there today looking for a fuse box&relay holders

There is a few frontys in the scrap now shame really

spent most of the day making chassis clips for the brake pipes and fuel hoses, so i can run the pipes were i want them to be
then i had a look on ebay and its only £5 for a bag of 12
going down to Dundee on Wednesday so i can get parts from the breakers.fuel filler neck and a bash plate.
got all my brake pipes made as well and overhauled the load sensing valve for the rear brakes just have to put it all together on my truck.but i have to Finnish with the under sealing of the chassis first.i will get that finished tomorrow hopefully

its cummin along a treat , eh dicky.

i am like a kid in a sweet shop when i get the chance to work on it

good man .

i still remember the first car i ever built when i was 14 that was 28 years ago and i still love the challenge of building something different
and putting thing together that turns heads

So the frontys going to turn heads eh

it sure will {he says with his fingers crossed }
the last one did by the time i drove it out the village my arm was sore waving at every one who waved at me

Hail King Dicky and his Frontera

Or maybe they thought you were leaving the village for good

it might have something to do with me driving around naked all the time

What a thought

Now now they cant dislike him that much or they would be pelting him with rotten food.
