Have any of you replaced the fuel tank in their swallowtail? Mine is a 75 sender on the side of the tank. I have pulled a later tank to use but haven't attempted it yet.
Does it fit, do the straps fit also.
My car was a rolling shell when purchased not many orginal parts to work with.
Thanks first post

No problems fitting a later style but the downside is that you'll have to cut a hole under the rear seat for sender access. You may also run into problems with the vent hoses for the particular tank you are using. Off-hand I think the swallowtail tank has something like 5 or 6 hoses coming off of it. Is your tank just too rusty to use? I've had several hot tanked and coated with good results.

no tank to start with. plan on putting the sending unit in and bolting the tank in as far as hoses plan on coping it off a 83 gti, nothing original was left when buying the shell
