I have just bought a Spitfire (62-70 Mkl-Mklll) fuel tank for only $15
off
Ebay. It seems the dimensions are similar to my TR3's tank size. One
guy
said he thought they were interchangable. Is this true?
==AM==
Paul, they are somewhat similar in that they both have "top/center"
inlets. However, the Spitfire tank is only 9.9 gallons as I recall, so
it is notably smaller in capacity and physical size (and shape) than
the TR3 tank. The Spitfire tank also mounts differently (not an
insurmountable problem, but worth noting).

Triumph Herald engine with wings.
