I thought it was taking the front drive shafts out with knackered CV joint bolts on the diff but no, its taking out the diesel tank!! Broken straps and sheared off bolts .......

Now I gotta fabricate a set of tank straps

My advice:

Ask for a JCB and then drive it over the van!

You don't "have to" fabricate, unless you want to:

Stainless steel and all:

Ok.

Don't forget to take pics of the job, to make an album or something with the title "before and after"

Problem with the tank straps was the bolts shearing off as well as one being rotten. Ill fit a new pair and work on the sheared bolts with a rivi-nut gun

Whats one of those?


worst job has to be exhaust, studs shear off need drilling out, engine out, drill bits snap etc etc.

Rivi-nut gun is that one to put nuts instead normal rivets (or blind rivets)...
