Hello I am a newbie of sorts back at trying to put my 914 back together. I am working on the fuel system and have a new gas line from Tangerine installed in tunnel. I have twin carbs so I don’t need a return line. I am going to purchase a new tank but I see that the nuts and supply tubes are no longer available. I don’t have these parts? I am not a big fan of the tank connections anyway and I was wondering if I could get some suggestions on alternatives with a new tank?

You will need an external filter. |

Will get new filter and figure out mounting the fuel pump correctly as it is flailing around right now.I have a late 74 and my fuel pump has a small factory cut out on of front fuel tank divider. |
