After practically leaving a trail of that and metal behind me, thought it was time to change the fuel tank cradle. I think it's seen better days... didn't even drop the tank to change the cradle 😁

do you have the part no for the cradle and likely cost Last night I lay in bed looking up at the stars in the sky and I thought to myself, where,s the f**king ceiling!!
the tank will drop off the vehicle - I used straps tied between the chassis raill and prop shaft to keep the tank held up - the fact the back 1/3 of the cradle is/was missing made it easier Si

I changed mine a few years ago on my old D3 run fuel down to an absolute minimum and get someone to help you including the use of a few straps

That is certainly knackered my friend The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;
They just make the best of everything they have.

I remember following Haynes manual to change brake pads on a previous car and wondering what the "dust shield" they referred to was … turned out all that was left of it were thin layers of rust under the retaining bolts.
(and before DSL jumps in with "no pics didn't happen", it was along time ago … probably got a cave painting of it somewhere)
