    Seat risers for early 90

    I've got these early seat runners as well. mudrails wont fit but you could either change your runners for a later type or back up your on own for the existing runners. btw i'm 6'0 and fitted risers to my 98 110, had no problems and extra legroom was,great.

    Fuel Tank replacement

    My replacement tank took a bit of persuasion to get in so think they just are not a great pattern part......beats petrol spraying everywhere though!

    Fuel Tank replacement

    Just done this on mine....so one pipe for breather to the filler neck, two remaining pipes to each other for balance, then the sender has an output for fuel pickup to the lift pump. You might need to change to a latter sender that has the integrated output.
