All very strange. I appear to have two reservoir brackets here meant for petrol installations (definitely not diesel, it was a complete kit from a wbx) but they are quite different! One is plated zinc and has two legs with one curved back on itself, the other is a heavier "curvy" pressing with grey paint that sets the reservior higher up. Aircooled maybe?

I actually require two brackets for different wbx vans, would be nice to know which is correct...

Anyone seen these before?

Then I check the part number of the zinc plated one in ETKA...

251 422 491 so it's a diesel part in the wbx mix. Swap for a petrol one anybody?

i'll check mine and get back to you.
somewhere in the mix i owe neil one.

got a wbx one here in my kit of spares - I leant it to Brickie, he was going to have them remade

Thanks chaps. No hurry as its for the silver lurker.

One here that came from Rogers van, so should be petrol, via Neil (I owe him one) is stamped 251 422 493B.
From memory (and I ain't going out in the rain to check) it looks the same as the one on my van, petrol again, which I think is the wrong part as it holds the reservoir at an angle off vertical and if the lid isn't tight, tight, tight it weeps.

Clear as mud!

that's the correct bracket Patrick but it has been butchered and modified
I have a good one, they have two holes in them but weren't bolted to chassis they were hand welded to shell, I ground off the welds
I take it the one that Ian has that isn't the diesel one is the petrol one ?

Let me just go and inspect it closely... Got it. Yes it has two pressed ribs on an angled foot with two alignment holes, welds carefully ground off, came from Adrian in Bournemouth and he assured me it came from a petrol bus.
I would like a second one and happy to swap it for the td bracket I have here.

TD bracket no use to me

I would never suggest such a thing
