Can you post up the dimentions/pictures of the tank? Is it a copy of the smaller (6.5 gallon) Fisher tank? If the filler is in the same place I'm interested.

I have e-mailed.

Hi Adi,

The tank is a direct swap for my Fisher plastic tank, which I think is the smaller of the two. Filler neck is in the smae place, I think I made the ali tank slightly shallower to increase clearance from the lower edge of the tub.
Here's the drawing...

The tank's out the car so quite happy to meet up should you want to measure / give it the once over?

Cheers,


Rob

Interested in the seats if they are what I am looking for!?!

Any pics please. Will they fit a Striker?

Hi Biz,

Seats are all ex-Caterham, two pre S-type fabrics, two low back fibreglass race seats.

Fabric seats:
Fixed back; one has been tweeked to a more upright position to give better legroom when fitted in the passenger side of a Fury. The other has a mod in the seat base to allow a fifth point for a harness (see above). I've got one set of runners, and one headrest which is now part of the requirement for IVA. Someone (hi Matt D!) currently has dibs on the seat with the harness mod.


The race seats are the pre-tillet caterham design with a low back; both have some scuffing, from memory one has a small crack in the RH edge, and the other is in Dorset in my folks attic so can either go straight from there or I can fetch it up to Macc.

Both types fit comfortably in a Fury, seat width is 410mm for the fabrics, 390 for the race seats. Think the striker is a broadly similar chassis so can't see these not fitting.

Cheerio,

Rob

A Striker has a significantly narrower cockpit than a Fury - check the cockpit width measurement.
