It's sat on the slicks, so they are definitely flat at the bottom, but judging by how perished they are on the sidewalls, their roundness is the least of my worries!  ________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

Yeah, most race tyres will go out of round if they're sat for a bit, straighten back up when you warm the carcass through though.________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Not really, looks like the cage brace behind the drivers seat is going to cause me some clearance issues. It may have to get cut out.________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies. I sell new and used welding equipment in the Hampshire area.

It's a weird cage, my c**tstom Cages one left the area above the tank clear, but this one doesn't. And as you can see, the tank is quite big.  ________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies. I sell new and used welding equipment in the Hampshire area.

make your own ally tank that fits underneath and uses a 205 gti fuel pump unit, saves chopping the shell any more  ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

The hole is the right size and shape, but the box won't drop in because of the cage. Even if I do get it in, I don't think I'll get the tank into the box once its welded in at the right height to clear the exhaust tunnel, that x-brace is going to have to go.

Are you suggesting that Rikky has that much animal magnetism that he can bend steel tube just by standing next to it?________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

Yeah, I leaned on it welding the back side. It's only thin tin. I'll straighten it out later on. You guys don't miss anything  Happy with that, I've been putting this part off for ages as the idea of taking an angle grinder to a perfectly good floor pan fills me with dread. But it's in, it's as low as I can practically get it, it's safe where it is and it's over to the nearside as far as poss to help offset some of my weight as a driver. All the pumps etc are going that side too. ________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies. I sell new and used welding equipment in the Hampshire area.
