lomax 223 petrol tank

Post by tomnorth » Wed Apr 12, 2017 11:07 am

Am building a 223 and find the body is tight against the petrol tank. Have seen cutaway photos on the forum of a demonstration vehicle showing the tank hard up against the rear axle but I cant get the tank hard against the axle because of the brake union - does this brake union need to be relocated?
Thanks
Tom

Hello.
My tank is a new copy of the original Lomax tank once fitted.
it sits about 3mm from the brake pipe junction on one side, and the top corner of the tank is about 6mm from the body.
hope this helps...

Rob
