First of all, if you have to buy a new cell call Speedway at 402 323
3200.  They have standard size fuel cells at 1/3rd the price of the
major mfg's.

Second, Bill Dalton will likely reply.  Do what he says.  He is tech for
one of the major vintage bodies.

Briefly, the cell must be fully enclosed in a metal box, as it were, and
then the metal box must be secured to the body in such a manner that it
will not come loose in the trunk, or worse, come roaring down the track
or into someone elses windshield.

Normally the cell is the easiest thing to prep on a race car, especially
a Turkey Bird with a big trunk.
