By chance does anybody have one of these fitted?

If so, would you be kind enough to take 3 quick measurements please?
I'm trying to see if it will fit as an exact swap of my existing ali tank - pictures attached with my existing measurements etc.

I'd love the same measurements please ;-)
Thanks in advance (Frontrunner haven't replied as of yet...)

Sorry - can not measure as my filler pipe is under the fender and out to the back.

But  can tell you that it is quite easy to spin-weld another bung into the tank in the position you want and then place a plug in the original bung.  (unless the holes half-overlap).

Front runner usually has instructions in their website also.
May help you get the info you need.

Thanks Bertus, but I'm working in a field in Portugal - no welding facilities available, and certainly no ability on my behalf ;-)

You'd think so, but they supply a fitting plate with pre drilled holes etc, so no need to provide dimensions to measure your own ;-(

And no reply from their enquiry form. Don't they know they are holding up my whole project ;-) :-)

If you can just get the bung and fabricate a holder, the spin-welding can be done with a normal drillling machine. The heat generated by the friction of the rotation actually melts the plastics together
