    fuel tank bracket fabrication

    Has anyone removed the fuel tank from a 9n Ford hood and fabricated brackets to mount it from the engine or frame? I am an older person and if i can do this it will make the hood lighter for removal. Any help or suggestions will be appreciated.

    David Brown 990 Restoration

    Thanks for the info. I have started pricing things and it looks like it could run from around 3500 to maybe 5000 or possibly more. I am trying to figure if it would be easier to find one restored and keep this one for parts as i have not started taking this one apart yet.
