Custom built gas tank Am having a custom tank made for my Nomad. Have purchased a 2002 Chevy fuel pump set up, which looks to be just right (might need to shorten the three steel legs a tad).
Have gotten the factory lock ring from the local Chevy dealer, but after spending last Friday at the wrecking yard looking at suitable tanks for the locking ring mount plate, all the modern tanks appear to be plastic. Can one get the metal part off the plastic tank? Is it worth trying to separate the two? Does anybody make a fabricated plate and rubber spacer ring for this?
Thanks in advance.
