I never got to the filler neck. It was going to be a cut 'n' shut with the LX neck joined by a piece of 2" I.D. rubber hose. The issue with fat tyres is that the HQ tank is wider, so the exhaust may need to be moved, which could cause clearance issues with the tyres.

That was three moves ago Mick, so they're probably lost in Sydney somewhere.
It looked really neat. I think it was VIC registered, but he was a manager at Autobarn (on the Hwy at the end of Gipps St)
I believe the wagon tanks are flatter across the rear than the sedan tanks. He still had a filler out the back as I remember, and he mentioned the exhaust routing though his fitted around well.
It all looked stock, welded in bracket mounts and all.
And 77ltrs.....

The issue the wagon tanks have is the filler neck is on the drivers side of the tank, closer to the front of the vehicle. The sedan has the filler in the middle at the rear of the tank, just like the LH/LX tanks. Which in theory should mean no welding is required.

I'm really liking the sound of this
77litres is way better than 55
As I'm not going to flare the hatch I think the bigger hq tank will really suit it

So? If you don't like welding, whack an aero filler in the rear guard/pillar.........The issue the wagon tanks have is the filler neck is on the drivers side of the tank, closer to the front of the vehicle. The sedan has the filler in the middle at the rear of the tank, just like the LH/LX tanks. Which in theory should mean no welding is required.

But that doesn't really keep in the idea of trying to keep the vehicle looking stock.

I agree... I have seen LH and LX's with the filler put in the rear quarters and it just doesnt look right. I'll be going for that mini droptank look if I ever do but I spose its not everyone's cup of tea.

That's exactly it. We all have our different ideas and it's not a bad thing to throw them around. However if the fillers were up near the rear screen and they were concealed, maybe that wouldn't lok so bad.

Hrrrmmmmm, a square filler door would look okay if you inserted one in the rear guard me thinks.
I'm big of the Charger/Mustang style fillers, and twinned left and right across the car race-style.
