Alteration of a rear tank for increased road clearance.

contd :- -2-

rear tank has been altered in the sump part to give more road clearance (I believe nearly 1 1/2"). If this is not enough we should alter the tank. Am I to understand that the tank bottom was lower than the centre of the axle (i.e. bevel gearbox?)
