Just ordered new fuel tank for my 110 Rebuild, My old tank was just really resting on the chassis when it came as the bolts had been cut, so only seen a couple of bolt heads, and was just expecting a couple of bolts to the front and rear of tank going into chassis.
Looking at my parts book there is spacers, mounting rubbers and a kind of bolt attached to a piece of plate number 12 on photo, so have ordered these bits to, But looking at photos of other tanks online they only seem to have 2 bolts either side. So will I need these extra bits that I've ordered or could I have just put the right size bolts in ??

When i put my tank back in, I just used nylock nuts with a rubber spacer between tank fixings and chassis for a bit of shock absorbing. Had id know those fixings were available, i would have bought them. What are you using to get diagrams and part nos?

Got all the bits today Gonna give the tank a couple of coats of red oxide then some black paint same as I used on axles.
Anyway got fixing 4 to 15 on photo, now this book is very good at showing parts but I'm a bit confused as how they go together by the diagrams. for instance does number 5 go up from the bottom of chassis holes then first bolt go in upwards, or does everything go down from the top ?? same for number 12 does it go upwards first or down from the top ?? has anyone got any photos of these bits fitted.
Only bits I'm missing is number 13 as these were a fiver each, Ive got something similar that I can use. also got new sender and fuel feed pipe.

Spot on Mate, Thanks Very Much. Need to find another 2 rubbers tomorrow as only ordered 2 by mistake should of had 4. unless I can find something similar to use.

Couple of coats of primer on tank tonight, will get some chassis paint on tomorrow then hopefully get it fitted Sunday.

Tank all read y to fit tomorrow, give it 2 coats of correless chassis paint, forgot to take a bloody photo. Had another look at where the rear fits on to rear crossmember and it goes up inside the crossmember, looks a bit fiddley to get hands up inside to get washer nut and spacer on so might put number 12 in photo up in there first coming down through so getting the rest on should be easier. will decide when I get to that stage anyway.

I know its one of the best things I've bought. People always ask me if its for sale when They see it, but it aint going nowhere, keeps me nice and warm up there on these long dark nights.

Well got it just about fitted, its in place but I cant get a hold on the number 12 bolt that's up in the rear cross member, cant even get fingers in to hold it to get bottom nut tightened.photo shows bottom nut. Must be a way but cant figure it out yet, gonna have a cup of tea and think about it before I end up breaking something else

Any Ideas ??

It’s a bit of a pig, I had to support the tank in place so I had both hands free to do the nuts. Also I forget which way round but one end needs to be bolted first so they line up. Getting to pick up pipe in was an absolute pain, including somehow fitting it at the wrong angle and having to call the AA out for more fuel on the motorway, and then the new one needed adjustment so the gauge read correctly.

The tank is fully in place front bolts that have the rubber bushes on are in but not fully tightened. Its the rear I can get to the bolt coming through from crossmember but just can not get anything on the inside bolt head to stop it spinning so I can tighten them up.
