Heat Shields Around Fuel Tank
Posted: Sat Feb 15, 2020 6:34 pm
Hi
It's my first post and hoping somebody can help me.
I'm in the process of putting my 1982 316 back together following a respray. The renovation has been ongoing for a couple of years but now proper progress is being made.
I took the 2 fuel tanks off at the start, refurbished inside and out covered them up and left them, and now, of course, I cant remember exactly how they came out. There are 2 holes at the front of each tank which match the mounts on the body and a small horseshoe shaped tag on the back of each tank. There is a bracket with a slot on the body which this might slip into, but doesn't seem right to me. Also, is there any heat shield protection other than the silver material stuck to the tanks themselves?
I can't remember if I took one off, and although there seem to be some fixings on the body I cant find anything in my shed!
Hopefully somebody can help?
Thanks in advance.
