[QUOTE="Flyer58, post: 428724, member: 18629"] Well no pics of my slosh box fix but I did end up folding over a 4in x 6in piece of stainless steel sheet metal and pressing it down over the wall by the sending arm. Very tight fit which I couldn't pull off so I passed on the pop rivets to hold it in place. I did some measuring first and the arm now clears the side. I also verified it by plugging connecting it to the harness and tilting the tank while watching the gauge. I can hear the arm bouncing pack and forth and see the gauge goes full scale each way. I also bought a new skid pan off eBay which is slightly thicker than the OEM one. It's mostly dimensionally correct but I needed to bend the side to center the tank and front and back walls so the exhaust clamp fitting clears. Also it's almost 1/2in deeper so on my first try at installing it I found the filler necks are sitting on the frame. A little more tweaking and I'll get it to work. Here's a few pic's of the 15-20 gal. conversion vent tube I cut and reinstalled. I reached inside with a small hammer and pounded the tube out enough to where I could grab it with pliers. I think I installed a 3 or 4 inch section back in. [ATTACH type="full"]117294[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]117295[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]117297[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
