Anyway I had an aftermarket tank originally from Sports and Classics that I obtained from somewhere and after pulling mine out and test fitting the other I see that the filler neck is at a slightly different angle. I think I can get it to connect up but wanted to know if anyone sees this as a non Healey tank. The fuel output fitting and sender unit flange are correct.</span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto" data-mce-style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="color:black" data-mce-style="color: black;">It also appears to be a bit smaller and the tank bottom where the drain is located is a little different, i.e. 2 circular protrusions rather than one rectangular one. Please see photos, the filler necks may look different diameter but are the same. </span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto" data-mce-style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="color:black" data-mce-style="color: black;"> </span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto" data-mce-style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="color:black" data-mce-style="color: black;"><br>Tim Davis BN7</span></p></div></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black" data-mce-style="color: black;"> </span></p></div></div><div><br></div></body></html>
