With the help of my very good friend Nick Cleak, the replacement fuel tank has finally been fitted to the Davrian. This job proved to be every bit as tricky as I was told it would be, yet it also turned out to be hugely satisfying.
Using a disc cutter, Nick very carefully cut around the perimeter of the tank, which I’d marked out, keeping as near to the door jamb, wheelarch, and inner bodywork join as possible. Once cut, this complete section of fibreglass was peeled off and safely stored in order that it could be reused. Nexteither side) were originally installed, fire-retardant foam was poured into the cavities. As the foam expanded and hardened, it encased the fuel tanks, a great safety measure.
