pedestal headlight guards

[Thundercat97]

Steve,

I checked out my fuel tanks last night to jog my memory...  We pulled out all the metal from the rubber tanks - the fuel cap set up, the fuel sender set up, the fuel inlet and the bottom drain plate.   We welded the metal rings inside the new fuel tanks and then screwed the other piece to them - just like the originals.   I had some real nice shots of my tanks next to the originals but as I said before, I lost all the photos.   

I checked my Ord 9 last night and here is what I found on the pedestal lights - left headlight guard is listed as part number C-122152, the right headlight guard is listed as part # C-122149.  I am assuming this these would be the numbers that should be on the light guards.  The ones on my track don't match either of these.  My left and right ones are the same number and I forgot what I was able to match that number to.....

Thanks,
Rob

thanks hammerhead
i started building 20 of the fuel tanks. im using 1/8" steel plate, they will have 2 baffles like the originals, the outlet fitting internals will be ducted to the center pickup like the originals. they will be galvanized then warped with 1/16" rubber. the sending unit will be recessed and also dimpled at the drain. the filler port will look just like original. i will only have 4 sets available with covers.
these will be kind of pricey, im not sure how much.
i have been side tracked lately so im not sure when they will be available.
