when its out its worth replacing the rubber olive on the suction tube , unclip the reserve lever and unscrew the sleeve nut
if any local reparer can cut the useless drian tube off and plate the base, you can fill the nasty hole in the boot floor,
no more corrosion , and the tanks so easy to remove/ refit,

we have done exactly the same in the past and agree its easy, just make sure the grove is clean and tap the clip fully home , you dont want one to pop out .
so you can now join the big clip antiknock brigade
and guess you wont be the first to replace everything twice to no avail,, tis all part of the fun

doesnt really matter but the slide release is shown towards the tunnel side
the seat frames are the same part numbers what is odd is the height /for/aft holes in the seat and slide base need to be offset to get the rear of the frame to drop onto the runners
if you use the what seems obvious holes in alignment the seat will be angled and the tubes miss the runners at the back if that makes sense Pete -
I had hard ride at the back with a swinger on the vit6 caused lower ride ht and was riding on the shocker bump stops so took 2 of the 3 out to get some travel but have now dumped the swinger for a courier unit 1" spacer and pair of spax, result ... no roll Peter
GT6 Sump removal.

the main reason for the stripped threads is by fitting too long setscrews, these bottom out and a light nip pulls the threads,
many repair with M8 or up to next unf .
this applies to the timing cover and the sump screws,
If you do take the sump off on car , should you have difficulty getting a sump to clear the suction tube , you can get to the 3 oil pump bolts through the gap and unscrew to let the pump drop into the sump,
all depends on pump / tube design and splash gauze aperture .
