Thanks :)

Stock for me then :) yeah r-techs only down the road for me :)

The Audi Pump fits straight in dude with no quibble really, only thing you have to change is the sender over as the audi one sits in the wrong place and hits the polo tank unplug the wires switch the senders over and jobs a good'un.

Cheers :) saw your pics on FB earlier it's getting there!

Little of you buddy when you fibreglass over the metal mix 2 part fibreglass 1 part filler plus your hardner makes the filler far easier to rub and less pin holes but still as strong

Also nice project looks great
