The black rubber is from the inside of the tank itself. For the injected cars there is a plastic box sitting at the bottom of the tank that acts as a surge tank for the fuel pump suction pipe, its so the pump has a head of fuel when your hard cornering , braking or ahem, accelerating.

L99N Silvergreen Met.

WOW Ant, Nice to see a Silvergreen Storm getting the treatment altho the car you have there certainly appears further advanced with ferritic carcinoma than what I have here. The last project was a 76 Golf in for a shell rebuild.. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y140/roccodingo/floorout1_zps84a82365...

Raintrays arrived magnificently packaged, very impressed with the quality of your reproduction parts. I will likely get 3 more sometime around Christmas.

Makes the countersunk screws not fully engage the seat on tensioning, other prob was you may have to grind the ears on the bearing housing to fit in t...

Coming on in leaps n bounds Winston. Keep at it man :D

Merry xmas

Message sent Nate, regarding headliner material. :D

Yesterday the weather was gorgeous round here, I drove for miles and miles, put it back in the garage then realised I was missing my 'Fix' - took it out again and drove it for some more miles. The smile on my face was the reward for all the time, money, worry spent. Says it all Jim, its what owning...

Unsure if its optical delusion but the top hinge even looks to be bent forwards slightly in your pic... Bar, bolt n bend sounds the go

Nice score Winston, I have the exact piece coming to me from Los Angeles thanks to Oscar ( Mozcar)
