So where abouts is your gas tank mounted? Haven't seen any pics? Seeming as Tubs will lessen the room for the normal place of fitment. Also can't see it being there for the fact that the weld in cage would leave it unremovable if it was up against the seats? Boot pics? and pics of gas tank? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

cage was made around gastank so it is removable. as for tubs and tank i think gas can answer that

Pics of these 15x10's and backspacing you got as i have to buy mine . I don't know about you, but i hate the convo center caps, when i put mine on, it looks like a wheel version of Pinocchio, want to see if i can get smaller ones or some machined up,as i have seen drag cars with small machined ones up, and they look heaps better. cheers darren
