[Healeys] Gas Tank Thread Question

[George Haywood]

Ross,
Sorry for the delayed response.  Yes, I received one of those tanks from Jorge
Cervera and it made me want to drink plenty of cervesa.  The fix is to order
that adapter nipple from McMaster-Car.  It works well however the adapter
causes the fuel line nut to rest right in the middle of the trunk bulkhead
rubber seal so you have to try and modify it to accept the fuel line to keep
the trunk dry.  Once you get that done there should be no other midifications
needed anywhere else on the line.  I have had mine installed for about a year
now and have put around 3500 miles on it with no problems.

Good luck,

George Haywood
