Re: New 59 Plymouth fuel tank from Vans?

I far as I'm aware it's a 20 gallon tank on the car and 22 gallon for the Suburban. These repro tanks are 22 gallon but once fitted don't look much different to the factory fitted. Using a bitumen based material for the pad shouldn't give any issues as it's impervious to water and it seals to the co...

Re: New 59 Plymouth fuel tank from Vans?

The pad is of the type used for sound deadening ( inside door skins etc ) They appear to be made of a bitumen type material and adhesive on one side. They are heated a little when fitting so they adopt the contours of whatever you are sticking them to. I seem to remember there was something similar ...

Re: New 59 Plymouth fuel tank from Vans?

Dennis Photo's as promised. They aren't great and excuse the background material. Tank was galvanised but we decided to paint it with underseal to protect against the UK weather. Also added a pad to the top of the tank to stop any vibration.

Re: New 59 Plymouth fuel tank from Vans?

Hi Dennis I bought one of these tanks along with the bigger straps and had it shipped to the UK. I didn't fit the tank myself but the mechanics that did the work didn't have any issues with the fitting. If you can wait a couple more days I'll take some photo's . I also bought the sender unit for the...

Re: New to Plymouth

Lee It looks like the car that was rebuilt just over the river from me. (Hull area) If it is then there are some photo's on the site taken during it's rebuild. (Look at posts from "Matty") There's also a clip on You Tube showing work done to underside. It looks really well in the photo, I ...

Front lights

I've had some of the front wiring harness replaced due to brittle insulation. I notice that the front sidelights switch off when I go to the main lamps. Is this correct ? The direction indicators work okay. It's been some time since the car was running and my memory has failed me. Thanks in advance ...

Re: Horns

Steve Interested to see the replies on this one. My Fury had the horns mounted the same as yours, passenger side engine bay. I put it down to the fact it had an aftermarket air con fitted and the rad/exchanger had been mounted in front of the radiator (now removed). I've seen pictures in the forum w...

Re: Exhaust system routing

Hi Dick. I don't dispute we can sort one way or another but I've never seen a near original example and was hoping to get hold of a picture to show the guys that are doing the work for me. To quote John Q in one of my previous posts " Picture is worth a thousand words..." Very grateful, as...

Exhaust system routing

My Fury is nearly back together, it seems to have taken an age but I reckon I'll make this summer. Hoping someone can help me with a picture of a twin exhaust system for a hardtop (fitted on the car). I have acquired a pair of Mopar mufflers that are longer than the shorter custom made ones that wer...

Re: Engine color ?

Thought I'd share this with the forum. My cry for help in a previous posting was referred to. This is as far as I've got. For info I've cleaned the transmission and bell housing and leaving them with the metal finish - no paint. My engine (318) started out blue, I'm pleased with the result so far. V...
