Anyone got the dimensions (and a photo) of the gts fuel tanks?

also, do gts sell the brake flexis seperately (well, in sets of 4)


cheers.

If they don't - I know MK do.

Also, HOSE DIRECT. They will make to specific lengths, best give them a call.

Sure.

It's basically 30 inches long, and 7 inches deep and 7 inches tall. Except for the top - it's only 5 3/4 inches front to back. So it has a sloped side on it for better fittament.

there's standard 2 inch fuel filler neck, and 6 hole fuel level sender mount. there is also a fuel delivery fitament for feeding the fuel pump, and a fitament for a breather pipe on top as well.

There's mounting brackets to fit the GTS frame - centered on the bottom, and about 16 1/5 inches apart.

The one I got from Darren is top shelf - nice professional welds, etc.

Doesn't look like it holds much, but maybe he has two sizes. Not sure on that.

I'm sure he can get you one, either way.

I uploaded 4 quick pictures to my archive for you.

I'm just returning my gts tank.
Problem i've encountered that you might like to check is that darren uses a fibreglass rear panel and so the design of his fuel tank and mounts doesn't take into account x3 and x4 which means it doesn't fit my book chassis (with gts dedion ear axle).
He uses brackets on the underside of the tank as opposed to straps which also affects its mounting position slightly dependant on x3 and x4 not being there too. Apart from that problem the fuel tank was very nice!

I also do the plastic rotational moulded tanks, like Car Builders Solutions offer, only cheaper.

These fit book chassis, with straps etc. Better made than the welded pastic tanks.
