Pulled the gastank, and found out that the sheet metal around the filler pipe is rusted out. What is the correct diameter of the hole? Has anyone figured out a nifty part (hardware store item) to use as a fix, or should I just fabricate an insert from sheet, and spotweld in?
Second question: The tank is held down with straps. However, there are also two brackets on top. Do they serve any purpose?
Third question: Safety may not be the most exciting issue, but ... I would like to incorporate an inertia switch to cut fuel in case of an emergency. I noticed one in an Alfa I rented once, and thought it was a good idea. Has anyone done this before? What junk car would be a good source for this part?
