manta400john Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Maybe the tank could be repaired without welding?? Quicksteel is very good and is petrol and heat resistant. If the rest of the tank is good why not give this a try, exactly what is this "grommet" that's broken? Partco keep Quicksteel in stock John.

manta400john Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Getting hold of a good tank could take forever.......a carefull clean-up and repair would buy you some time. Is the tank still fitted to the car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
