Title: Axminster aluminium fuel tank and swirl pot

Does anyone have any experience with these? They look like very good quality and the fact that it is compatible with the original fuel gauge sender unit is a nice feature.

The heater valve bracket on the swirl pot doesn't look correct to me though. My bracket looks like the one in the last photo. Or maybe there is some kind of Europa model which used this bracket?

I've heard of Andy Wiltshire's tanks being described as "works of art". The pictures certainly look gorgeous.

It's hard to tell from the single small picture how the mount tab for the heater valve fits on the swirl tank. Might be worth contacting Andy for further details. It shouldn't be too hard to fabricate a working bracket.
