chris mk3 325 Posted April 4 So vibration update, as someone told me on here, it could be the engine mounts, well I went through my eBay history, I bought uprated mounts, I've since changed to softer ones, from France of all places, had cut away pictures of the thread seperate with rubber in-between, I suspect the uprated thread goes all the way through, anyway , it's like a different car, vibration gone. Also done some bodywork, rust on the seam at the back is a bad trap, cut out welded new section in, skim of fibreglass , then filled , lucky me had some paint left from respray years ago now 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chris mk3 325 Posted April 8 Well bit the bullet and spent £150 on a new fuel tank sender, got to say came with the seal and fitted a treat , it is pricey though 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chris mk3 325 Posted May 24 Ok this is random as funk, remember I posted about fitting my new fuel sender , well I smelt fuel, I looked underneath, seen it was from the sender I took off and saw four holes, I thought I'm sure they wasn't there, so after looking at the pics you can see they wasn't, ignore black paint it's the same sender, but I think it's been drilled ! What's your thoughts, I'm totally stunned, I do have an ex wife, and some guy knocked my door asking if I would sell, these are the only things I can think off, please what's your thoughts?

sheffieldcortinacentre 753 Posted May 24 Those look drilled , have you fitted a seal? I wonder if someone has modified that to be bolted in? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chris mk3 325 Posted May 24 (edited) Craig no, that's my point , some runts been at it, if you look at the pics you can see they've been drilled , just seems very odd , I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't got pics to prove , yes new seal fitted, my neighbours got a ring doorbell so I'm going to dig about a bit Edited May 24 by chris mk3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sheffieldcortinacentre 753 Posted May 24 Really weird thing to do ,be pretty awkward & not exactly quiet thing to do either. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chris mk3 325 Posted May 25 (edited) Craig your right, if I hadn't had pics when I fitted , I wouldn't have believed it myself, and they didn't drill through into the tank!? Just the sender, I still don't quite believe it , like you say what a lot of trouble, when you could just key it or drill the tank, does not make sense, the only possible thing I can think is being low down out of sight to any cameras Edited May 25 by chris mk3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mk2 Crayford 6 Posted May 27 Holes were always there. You can see one in the first pic. The other 3 are covered by the label , the pipe and behind the rim because of the angle of the pic. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chris mk3 325 Posted May 30 (edited) Found this pic I took before fitting, yes semi pre drilled! I have no idea why as MK3 is twist type, and they definitely wasn't fully drilled through when fitted , I've emailed the seller for a refund, cost me £150 Least now I know it wasn't a crime scene 😁 got me well paranoid 🤣 Edited May 30 by chris mk3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
