[Fredrik73]

im having vacation for the rest of the year but did only had time for the car today.
im going to London the 18:th december to drink some bubly beverage and do some christmas shopping with my friend that lives there

Hats off to you - are you going to replace both fuel pumps while you're in there ?
I think I would...

And I have that same chrome strip to cover some hardtop scratches on the paint; its subtle and does the job...

Thank you Frank
i dont think i can change the pumps, its hard to get parts here must have them shiped from America.
but i will check if i can get them here.

[Frank Dreano]

Totally missed the fact you're overseas, I agree - maintaining a limited production American car over there is a problem...

and i did find the leak......
the gasket for the lid on top of the tank was inside the tank.
so when i have tryed to fill the tank only one half has bin filled and then not filled the other side because the lid is in lower level then the way to the other side of the tank is

20191225_171423.jpg so now i just have to buy a new hose from filling pipe to tank and new couplings for the lids and put it all back together

[Fredrik73]

this is the hose i need new
