Default Assembly help required

I am doing final assembly on my 61 and need some information regarding the gas tank retainers under the body.

The ones with the nut attached. They are slightly sloping where the nut is attached. Which way do they go under the body? As in, does the nut need to slope towards the tank or away from the tank?

I hope I have been clear enough. Thanks in advance.

Cheers and merry Xmas to all,

Mark.

Mark, quite sorry I can not answer your question, but I've got to ask, is that a Holden SS in your Avatar?

If it is, what engine and transmission is in it?


Good luck... GUSTO

Hi,

No, just the SV6 Storm. 3.6 litre V6 that makes 215Kw. 6 speed auto. Goes along pretty nice though. Great car. Pity we do not make them anymore.

Merry xmas
