Boyd Tank Mounting: Instead of going for extra leg room, the tank can be moved forward

It can be mounted with the forward lower tabs right up against the chassis cross member.

The tabs do not align accurately with the cut-outs in the firewall, so they were trimmed.

The upper securing tabs can be secured to the chassis in the normal place by using stand-offs.

When mounted this way there is good clearance between the firewall and the tank

and 2 1/2 inches + between the tank and the rear upright chassis.

That means the Boyd or any other tank similar, could be at least 2 inches "thicker" with huge capacity

increase.
