You could always try modding a left hand tank I got these photos when I
was thinking of doing that. (I think they were from Rocky Frisco, it was
a couple of years back now).

Thanks Jo,
That looks like serious re-modelling,
but proves it can be done if your determined,
cheers

I did look into it sometime ago but it was too difficult looking at the
pics its not that simple. The whole shape of that top bit has to fit the
wheel arch them poke out the hole in the correct alignment. Far simpler
to buy the correct one.

The alternative is to install a dummy filler neck.

Thanks for the input Rob,
I'm probably going to fit a new tank, as you suggested,
I suppose the "Dummy"neck looks ok, but not for me,
cheers

for next to nothing. The car had been scrapped. They are around S/H

its a rip off on a good day,
cheers

The 2nd tanks where mainly for use when the mini had a 5.5 gal tank, your
minis will have 7.5 gal tanks, so you have a slight advantage, you will have
less boot space than with 2 x 5.5 gal tanks, or you fitt a inno tank which
holds 8 gallons :-)
