Interesting to see the original tank. Mine had a curved tank to make room for the spare tire. But the shipping company butchered that one.

My spare is laying on the floor inside. I have a bracket that screws to the sidewall when I don't have the big 2nd seat in. It's something the original owner made.

We got a bit of wiring done last night.
Carb installed, Radiator off to have the thermostat switch bung welded in for the electric fan.
Have to do a make shift exhaust in the first stages to get it thru DMV, look at doing it right down the road.

My original has the indentation for the spare. Now that repro sender units are available, I put my original tank back in.

Re: 62 Burb project in the making.

Not much to report. Had a problem with the throwout bearing I got, the Chinese made was about 5mm to long my buddy whiped it into shape on the lathe after pressing the bearing off, And of course remove and replace the trans.
Did some work on the break lines to the new master cylinder Along with one of the rear lines the shipping co squished and hooked up the break pedal.
Now we need to find a break hose for the slave cylinder set up out of something we can get here.
Slowly coming along.

Progress is progress no matter how small at times.
