Marcos Maniacs

Does anyone have a spare Lucas temperature gauge? Also, any ideas on a place 
to repair or buy a new gas tank?  Mine is currently turning into swiss cheese. 
When I bought my Marcos the prior owner said it had a DeDion rear end. As I 
have never had it up on a lift, what would be my indicators as to which rear 
end I have. 

This past weekend, I proved that you can stuff your bride and her gown into 
the cockpit of a 1600 GT Marcos... yes, it can be done.

Hal,
I can have one fabricated here in Sarasota, but dont
Know what it would cost. I can use mine as a pattern.
I do a lot of business with this fabricator and usualy
get pretty good rates.

hey Larry,
               That would be very helpful. THe next time you are down there 
bend thier ear and see what can be done. I guess that money can't be that big 
of an issue seeing as the car wont go without the dog gone tank. Have you ever 
had this problem?

   THANKS A LOT,
  Hal

Larry here, 
is your Marcos left hand drive? The gas tank is
origionaly set uf for both RH and LH drive, but I
thought I'd save a few bucks and only have one feed
pipe installed. I am going to the fab shop Monday for
a quote.

In regards to my last e-mail, I think the other
fitting on the tank is for the V-6 engine, not LH or
RH drive.

         will do.

I gave the fabricators the drawings for the tank. He
said it would be about three weeks.
May I suggest using a gas tank coating inside the tank
to prevent rust. You can buy it at J.C. Whitney's.
You just pour the material in the tank and slosh it
around until well coated. This is what we use is the
aircraft to prevent corrosion in the tanks.

I have been so inundated at work I haven't even turned on my computer. On mon 
I am dropping off my car to my mechanic. I still will have him  measure the 
tank. I hopefully will be racing the car if they relax the 1968 rule on vintage 
racing
