Would this tank
http://www.minisport.com/mini-spare-par ... 10420.html

Fit in a 1975 clubman??
The one for a 1975 is 3 times the price!

Cheers

Yep will fit a 1975...

They are designed for the retaining strap to go along the side of the tank rather than than over. Later cars (UK) have an extra bracket for this.

However many many people use just the usual over the top strap with no problems.
Will encroach a little over the spare wheel.

But extra capacity of tank is a good gain.

That price looks good new - but check postage as will be bulky... (EDIT: Just went through checkout and it came up with 92 pounds for postage)

Lots of 2nd hand tanks around here in Aus for not much $.

Awesome, thanks for the reply mate.
Want to fit a new one if possible and just forget about it for the next 40 years if you know what I mean!

Anyone know if they come with the sender units installed?
Save me waiting days for an email from them
