That rusty picture gives me nightmares. I can't believe it would not have been cheaper to put plastic tanks in all R32s......

And yes, I meant the factory mount is a kind of baffle...it slides into (and sometimes easily out of) a plastic mount glued to the tank floor

That rusty R32 fuel tank is what we found in Clinton's R32. It has since been replaced with a R32 GTR tank and all it took was a bit of ingenuity in building new fuel tank hangers.

I cannot believe how simple the R32 fuel level sender is compared to the R33 unit.
