A response to your question about mounting the gas tank. I looked through my factory workshop manual that came with my 1958 roadster, Scarborough Faire catalogs, Victoria British catalogs and Moss Motors catalogs. They don't show any more than you have to work with. Maybe the tank is low in the front to prevent fuel starvation when competing in hill climbs. 🤔☺☺ The Scarborough Faire and Victoria British catalogs both have a good parts explosion, just a bolt and spring washer to mount the front to the cross member.
@@christos7440 Your welcome. I bought mine in 1967 after the 2nd owner demonstrated some spirited driving on a back road in NH. Limited abilities and funding have contributed to it's present state of possibly terminal dis-repair. Maybe someday I will work on it instead of watching everyone else.
@@christos7440 I may. I have memories of it being fun, if slow on acceleration, to drive when I was 19 through 26 before I took it off the road for some repairs. I was better at disassembly it seems as it never was driven again. Now at 76 with an aging body the reality of crawling around trying to weld new panels and all the rest may be too much. I have a spare car minus the engine and transmission for odd parts and a blueprint of how it should go together, it is a 1600 but close enough. A point of contention, I spent five years in the Army! 😎
