Has anyone got a pattern / measurements for the right hand tank fitment? I need to cut the hole to fit the tank and want to make sure I get it right :shock:

cheers,

CJ

Just trace it on to a piece of paper and reverse it for the right hand side.
I hope that makes sense , when you start doing it you will see how easy it is .

The right hand side tank aperture is 6mm closer to the centre of the car and at the same height as the left hand aperture. Most people putting in a right hand tank just use a mirror image of the LHS so any issues would've shown up by now.
