I took the fuel tank out last year and had exactly the same issue.

I read up on polymer expansion and left it to dry /air for a week. Not a hint of change.

Ended up 'modifying' (spark free) the lower lip near the floor pan.

Well done Cobber, consider it good cardio vascular exercise along with a little neuro stimulation.

Len, be careful buddy, lots of scams etc out there. 

I've had one recently where the fella said "i'll take it, a courier will come and collect it and pay you" complete scam.

I asked a few questions and he was buying my sailing dingy for his disabled mother. !

Just be careful buddy.

I purchased the car for £600 as a non runner following a hydraulic lock so mine was a total rebuild, but with Daves advice on reliability / money / performance we agreed on porting of the head, offset dowel and upgraded exhaust cam. 

His attention to detail throughout the build was amazing, for example moderate dremmel work on the oil filter casting and block to increase flow.

I wanted to share my experience in having an engine overhaul by DVA Power, Dave was absolutely awesome to deal with, giving me options and choices along the way. He found my head was softer than it should be and we worked through that, along with power choices and selections for performance. It was just a really nice experience and a pleasure to be supported by someone with so much K series knowledge.

I was thinking about swapping the bolts on the engine cover to DZUS ring fixings, 

I think it would of been a nice nod to the MGB battery cover.

Curious on peoples input.

Good Morning all, Thanks Bruce, I had something similar when importing to Europe. They wouldnt accept anything 'welded on' and said i needed to talk to the main dealer. Some frantic googling when told i had 5 mins remaining in my inspection slot. I believe this is the mark that the inspector is looking for.
