roy53 Posted September 7, 2020 Report Share Posted September 7, 2020 Can you help me identify the following tanks and straps.Straps A & B are the same size at the top B wider at the bottom. C is 2" wider with a bigger angle One is from my 3 with a rear seat . The others are from a 2 and maybe a 3a Please also note that on the strap A it has an additional bolt fixing on the top The 2 tanks are different on the bottom HELP -------- Not sure which configuration came out of the 3 Roy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Freer Posted September 7, 2020 Report Share Posted September 7, 2020 Roy, pretty sure tank “A” is from a 3. My spare one is currently in storage so I can’t confirm immediately. Not sure re the straps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ralph Whitaker Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 Tank B is from a later 3a. Not sure about those straps with the extra fixing at the top corner. Ralph Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lebro Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 The extra fixings are correct for a '3 they hold the top of the board in front of the tank Bob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AJ2014 Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 (edited) Roy These are TR2 tank straps...They look exactly like your 'C' straps. I think the hole you see is maybe for an earth connection for the fuel gauge sender unit? Regards Ade Edited September 8, 2020 by AJ2014 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AJ2014 Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 (edited) Roy, There are a few posts about TR2/3 fuel tank differences on the forum; the photo below is extracted from one of them. The tank which says 'Original Tank' is for the TR2, the other tank is for a later sidescreen car with the optional rear seat (hence the shorter slope and slight rake for the rear seat backrest Hope this helps Cheers Ade Edited September 8, 2020 by AJ2014 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 The "C" ones are definitely TR2 as its a bigger tank altogether. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
roy53 Posted September 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 Thanks everyone i knew you would help. So i have the 3 tank A along with the straps A with the extra fixings for rear seat on the 3 Tank B is for a 3A along with straps B. No idea how i have them as never had a 3A. [ This wouldn't have been fitted in my 2 would it ? don't think the bottom would fit.] and i have TR 2 straps. For my 2 [ which has an FIA comp tank at this moment ]i have the straps C but need to search my lock up again as no tank so far. I think there will be a plea for a 2 tank soon. Again thanks guys Roy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
