The standard fuel tank is all 1 piece including the neck, unbolt the 2 straps and lower it slightly, it will still be hanging by the rubber on the neck in the fuel flap area While its not completely out take off the breather hoses on top of the tank, assuming you have already disconnected the fuel lines at the back and plugs for the sender and pump it is ready to come out While it is out replace all of the breather lines (if any are left) attached to the neck or the car will stink of fuel If the drop tank is out of a VN the neck will be slightly longer (30-40mm from memory) just measure your existing one and compare, chop the excess if needed If its from a VL it will be the same, it is a lot easier to fit the neck into the fuel flap area first as it is one less thing to stuff around with while handling the tank

Cheers antho! The tank I think is from a vp or vq! The sender is different with 1 less plus and different return so I gotta put the vl sender into this tank! Also I'm certain I looked at the neck in the car ATM and it had a rubber joiner as in its not 1 piece but I'll check tonight and msg back in here! It's a bt1 so it came with drop tank and 28 spline diff but the old owner removed the tank to keep for himself and put standard in!

Antho your correct, tank neck is single piece! Finished last bailey channel and door trim lady night! Pretty much just got a few minor exterior things to do and put loom on engine then drop it in! Anyone has a spare 2x lock clip retainers? Also the 2x bonnet rod holders? I seen to have misplaced these minor parts

Just moved house, very painful to get cars there and engine but all there now! Finally got good big garages so looking forward to more work ahead lol Just about to have knee surgery so will be off my feet for next 2 weeks and mrs is due in 5 weeks so fingers crossed I can drop this engine in ASAP and get her firing! ---------- Post added 22-12-15 at 07:21 ---------- (http://s34.photobucket.com/user/deano23x/media/Bt1/New%20bt1/4275F520-2ED7-4764-9D70-6DB0F4ED6C40_zpsn3mo966x.jpg.html) (http://s34.photobucket.com/user/deano23x/media/Bt1/New%20bt1/3975DD6E-4077-421B-9531-BA3CDA3BABE4_zpstz4qgpdh.jpg.html) (http://s34.photobucket.com/user/deano23x/media/Bt1/New%20bt1/D8806930-BFCB-40EF-9636-43AF5E1F8E3E_zpsfbvzi7bp.jpg.html) ---------- Post added 22-12-15 at 07:24 ---------- (http://s34.photobucket.com/user/deano23x/media/Bt1/New%20bt1/9FF1A024-6C5C-4FB5-BA21-AE329A51137D_zpsty9slp4b.jpg.html) (http://s34.photobucket.com/user/deano23x/media/Bt1/New%20bt1/F539D4A3-62C5-43F8-9F2B-A27B0656D5D3_zpsgy3fhvll.jpg.html) (http://s34.photobucket.com/user/deano23x/media/Bt1/New%20bt1/BFCEA96A-0718-431D-83C7-9AA747299F94_zpsikgrmppt.jpg.html) (http://s34.photobucket.com/user/deano23x/media/Bt1/New%20bt1/FAA88EDF-904C-4441-890C-6BB148C96270_zps5cwxrdrw.jpg.html) Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
