Michael,You are correct. Unfortunately, most customers never even report th=

If thy do get a few complaints, they dismiss it because the majority of the=

Hi all
I hope someone can help me with a problem I have with fitting a new fuel ta=

I could set the tank off-centre, but I would still be about 2cm too short.
I have attached some pics to show what I mean.=C2=A0=C2=A0
AH Spares tells me to buy a new fuel pipe kit from them, but also tells tha=

As always, any advice would be gratefully received.
Many thanks
