<div dir="auto">Paul what are encountering is, sadly, frequently encountered with reproduction parts. You can be assured that the manufacturer has no access to a car in which to check the product nor, in all probability does the vendor. <div dir="auto">You can also be assured that they both are well aware of the problem but probably have considerable inventory of this defective product and will continue to push it out to unsuspecting customers until they are all sold.<br><div dir="auto">IMHO what you should do is contact the vendor and demand a full refund including the cost of shipping it back. </div><div dir="auto">Unfortunately too many people just figure out a work around and the suppliers continue to get away with it. </div><div dir="auto">M</div><div dir="auto"><br></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Apr 29, 2020, 8:12 AM Paul Leeks, <<a href="mailto:paull@glasgows.co.uk">paull@glasgows.co.uk</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hi all<div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">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.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div>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).</div><div><br></div><div>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.
