Talk to 907, he is near Haverhill, Suffolk, and comes Highly reccomended.
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
Best Regards

Sorry, I can't weld.
I bolted mine together using a 1inch thick bracket like yours, tapped on the inside with an O ring.
Bit fiddly to tighten up the bolts, but I "modified" a spanner. My tank had already seen loads of fuel and would have been difficult to
remove, and I can't weld.
Actually, this was a pointless reply. Get it welded.

Don't know if he is still there but try a guy in Welwyn Garden City. 19 little ridge, WGC, AL7 2BH 01707 323483. I used him a few years ago
to ali weld uip some intercooler pipes and his work was second to none.

As good as that sounds, it's a 4 hour round trip!

If I was stuck...
I'd match drill the six holes in the tank,
cut the flange in half,
screw bolts into the flange up to the bolt head,
and install it from the inside so the bolts poke through to form studs.
Wrapping ptfe tape round the studs will stop it dropping back into the tank.
If I didn't have a welder that is.

Thanks for all the replies  Frank/dave you have U2U...
907 I had considered making a bolt up arrangement, but worried about being able to seal the studs...

Sounds a bit suspect to me. He already has a biatch too, and he only went over to borrow a spanner.....
Ever seen Pulp Fiction?
