Hi To the person who is going to use a tank unit from a Bettle have you checked if it it has the matching resistance for the gauge? My most recent use of VDO products was the gas tank on my Bantam. Via my local Speedometer shop VDO supplied an adapter for the five and six screw holes, an adjustable ...

Not wires - but the RED car needs a rubber grommet where the brake pipe goes through the chassis

Hi Paul Thanks for your reply. In the end I took off the rear hub. There is so little room between the backing plate and the leaf spring on the Bantam that only OE spanner can be used.

There is plenty of information available.
I live in Melbourne.

Hi Philip I looked at that site and found that details are not given about the filter used inside the canister.

Has any one found a suitable modern replacement for the original bypass filter which is no longer available.

If the gauge or tank unit fails then VDO can supply replacements/

Hi

The rubber bushes on the Roadster springs are also used on the Morris Minor so you might try a source of Morris parts
