Fuel Tank for Mk1

[Parkpd]

Hello All

I’m new to the club, so forgive me if I’m doing this all wrong, but I’m looking for a fuel tank for a Mk1. Mine is very pitted, the seams are swollen and has been sitting for over 40 years. I did toy with the idea of using a tank repair kit, but looking inside, I wonder how that would turn out with the baffles and filter, etc. That and it cost £60, so would give it a go if I can’t find a good quality replacement.
I live in West Dorset, UK
Cheers!

It's feasible to use MG Midget tanks ....

[Mike Hodgson]

As Dave states Midget tanks are a good alternative and only require simple mods .You can also try Derek(spares) to see if he has a tank in stock.
Where in West Dorset are you ?,I'm a few miles south of Shaftesbury.

Evening Mike - I’m in Halstock, just south of Yeovil.
I’ll have a ferret about for a Midget tank then -thanks you all!

I reckon there'll be a few more posts/pleas from me over the coming year!
Still, got it running and moving this weekend - hurrah!
Now, just need to stop the rust worms from taking any more.......sills, wheel arches, front floor pans, front wings, front valance.......

Price £15

I am in Birmingham but expect to be in Basingstoke from 24 to 27 Jan if that helps

[Parkpd]

That's brilliant Chairman Ed - thank you!
I'm a full time doctor, but I might be able to coerce my son into coming up to Basingstoke for me (I think he's back home from uni that week)
