Fuel Tank fittings & pads Options

[Gatornapper]

When I got my 914 the tank was not in the car. I had the tank restored, but the guy lost the fittings that connect to the bottom of the tank. The fittings are no longer available anywhere.

Can anyone tell me the size of the fittings? They seem to be about 14mm dia., fine metric thread.

Also, I cannot tell where the rubber pads go that support the tank on the seam - I was told they go on the sides, but I cannot tell where. See my post #53 under "Newbie from virginia..."

Can someone attach a pic of where they go or describe their placement precisely?

I'm dead in the water getting the car running without these fittings and knowing the placement of the pads.

Thanks for the help!

Had my tank out last winter. For me, the difficulties were connecting the rubber lines from the tank to the Tangerine Racing steel lines under the tank. Getting them as long as possible to give you some room to work with but not too long so that they kink. Also, we ended up hooking a string to a weight to the drain line so that we could get the drain line out the hole in the floor. Definitely a five hand operation.
