A40 Farina Club

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 ....

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.......

Wecome to the club! Your sure will find it out of this world just as I did when i first joined and I have never looked back! Derek Minter our spares chap did have a mk1 fuel tank for sale so feel free to contact him.

I have a MK1 fuel tank

Price £15

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

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)
Shall I PM you when I've got hold of him?
Peter

No problem.

Just let me know, I am sure we can sort something.
