I just like to say hello, i own a gtr that i put together in just over 3 months, it had its sva in jan and ive put nearly 900 miles on the clock, there are a few things i wished i had done now like fitting 2 tanks and air con, does anyone know what problems i will come across trying to fit these, i know i shoudnt have rushed it and waited until i had enough money.
Thank you for any advice.

Hi Keith
Welcome to the forum.
The aircon can be retrofitted. Detail Dean did his and wrote about it in Which Kit? Magazine. Will involve much upside down in the footwell but possible. Seems the answer was to dismantle the fan housing then reassemble it in situ because it will not fit up into place in one piece.
To fit or change a tank I believe the procedure is to remove the suspension on that side and cut out a suitable size hole in the glassfibre on the end of the side pod. The tank can then be slid into place. If the panel is cut neatly it should be simple enough to secure it with metal tabs and countersunk rivets. A bit of filler and a spray over both pod ends with stone chip paint should not look too bad.

I and Cabby (Ex Ultimapaul) will be at Stoneleigh on Monday.
