Like many of you I've fought with installing a rear tank. It came down to how often I needed the extra fuel vs. the cost of doing the install and trouble. I decided not to go the extra tank but be able to carry the extra fuel when needed. This was my solution.

If you think your driver bit is slipping back in the screw slots, add a dab of valve grinding compound into the slots. The abrasive of the valve grinding compounds adds some extra bite which just might do the trick.

Pictures of what you have would help, things change with time and models.

See if Procar can send you a fabric sample.

Looking at body mount kits it appears they were the same from '58 to '78. Then apparently changes were made and stayed the same from '79 to '84. Maybe someone else can fill in more details and what the changes were.

Welcome to the madness!

It might help to know exactly which LUK clutch you installed. They make several kits and support Corvettes with LS7's that produce 505 HP. It might also help if you have any pictures of how the center section failed.

I went to the web site and it was a little confusing. It says the tank is for a Toyota but the category is Ford. It would be nice if there is more detailed information on the site.

As classic vehicles are getting harder to find more and more companies are producing replacements. You can build a new 57 Chevy from all new parts, or even a first generation Bronco, or even a 356 Porsche. Are they an original no but do they allow you to drive the vehicle of your dreams? Not...
