OK, after a frustrating day assembling my car, I've bumped up against an issue with the oil tank. I'm using a new factory six oil tank and it won't fit correctly. I'm wondering if the later bodies added the brace in the picture below (yellow pencil aiming at it) to beef up the door latch area. My tank is teetering on this bracket and doesn't want to lay flat agianst the mounting area.
I can't be the first one to deal with this, what have others done to address this??? I hope it's not just crankin' the bolts down, cause that's got to wear into the tank sooner or later.  |
