:hangloose: thanks guys......... the secret to the "POP" out tank is there is none................................................................................................... the tank was sand blasted the ridges filled in sanded down and sprayed any panelbeater can handle it.

The fuse box was like R80-00 at volkspares they use them in their beach buggy kits
