Petrol Tank MG ZS 110 - Desperately seeking
Discussion
My trusty steed, owned since new with 133k on the clock, is now leaking petrol from the tank. Rimmer brothers can't supply, no-one seems to have one. A company sent up a pattern part allegedly for the Rover45 but it was not the correct fit. Scrappers now have to have their tanks holed, some sort of elf and safety reg? Any ideas? If all else fails i will have the current tank glassed over. Cheers.

Did you sort this?Well, not best news. Star Radiators say too badly rusted to repair, and shape too intricate (e.g. with indentations for straps) to copy. I will work on them to see if they will produce a more basic shape, which can then be attached to the body with brackets. So much do not want a good car to the scrapper for the sake of a fuel tank.
Very kind offer. But I have found Northern Radiators in Leeds, the tank is with them now and they say it can be blasted, welded then coated inside and out, restored tank will be guaranteed I think they said for 3 years. Pricy but worthwhile to save the car. Hope you're enjoying the 180, a future classic.....
We have three 180s,
Two Hatchbacks in Trophy Blue (one on the road [reg X20 BLU] and one with a noisy engine) and a Le Mans green 4 door which I bought for spares as needs quite a lot of TLC.
I am accumulating a list of ZS180 Hatchbacks (and ZR160 3 doors) that are "For Sale" but as of yet not published in the public view, (Waiting for more cars [I have 4 ZSs so far, as only just started] and the best site to place? )
I run the ZT/R75 V8s "For Sale " threads on the 260s & 75/ZT Enthusiasts forum.

Email,didn't work. Around ¥350. Supercharged ZTT sounds great.
Is that 350 Pounds?The ZTT 410HP 434 lb/ft Very nice to drive.
I like all three models.
ZR160 a go cart with a roof, light with a short wheel base.
ZS180 great for Devon roads
ZTT a long distance fast hauler.
