Another option would be to cut a hole in the correct place for the fuel =
pipe to come thru the bulkhead. Then make a piece of metal with a hole =
for the pipe and grommet, then attach that to the bulkhead to cover it =
all up. Then replace the armacord and it will look correct. =20
The other option that we have done is to remove the pick up from the =
original Longbridge tank and replace the one from the new tank with the =
old one.
WE have done both options in the past.

Thanks to everyone for their help with this.=20
David is, of course, absolutely correct. I do have an early Longbridge =
BN4 and the original pipe would have come through higher up and entered =
the tank vertically. So, it has obviously been 'modified' in the past!
Therefore, it looks like the easiest thing to do would be to try either =
Bob's idea for a flexible braided stainless fuel line or Elton's ideas =
for a BSPP swivel.=20
I'll let you know how I get on.
Many thanks all

Hi all=20
I hope someone can help me with a problem I have with fitting a new fuel =
tank from AH Spares on my 100/6 BN4.
On attempting installation, I have found that the fuel pipe on the car =
doesn't line up with the boss on the fuel tank (and there is no =
flexibility in the outlet pipe as it does an immediate right angle on =
the other side of the boot wall).
I had assumed the replacement tank would be an exact match for the =
original but, as you can see from the pictures attached, with the tank =
dead centre in the boot and as tight to the rear wall as possible, the =
boss is too far back and off to the left; meaning I cannot get it =
attached. At a push 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. =20
AH Spares tells me to buy a new fuel pipe kit from them, but also tells =
that the pipe is of a fixed length and the bend I need to get it on to =
reach the tank boss (as it is at the moment) is a little extreme and =
will probably kink it.
As always, any advice would be gratefully received.
Many thanks
