mantav8 Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Thought I would start here as today saw the 'offical' start of the Cossy conversion! Done today,removed prop,tank,engine and cleaned the bay up a bit for painting. The pics!:cool: Soon ready for a trial fit of this,all decatted an' everything! I was hoping the Scorpio sender was going to fit my tank but no!-the sender resistance was wrong and the flange to big,so I came up with this 'hybrid'-my sender with the Scorp' pump fitted,sorted! Watch this space.....................................(again! LOL!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
