Okay this Jeep was stripped down quite a bit so lets play where does this part go?.
Big plastic part goes under the fuel tank i assume but where does the smaller one go? is it just to stop the band over the top rubbing on the fuel tank?

Now i am home i found it in the parts manual, the big one underneath and just the 1 smaller one that goes on the front.
Item 15 on the parts diagram is a Diesel label, i bet they are an incredibly rare item to find.

That little one goes on top between the strap and petrol tank. See pics of mine before and after I pulled the tank. Mine just had one large and one small.

Looking good! I had to scrap the idea for the fiberglass tub out of the hot tub... I don't know if "hot pink gel coat" is my color scheme I am trying to go for... I figured more of a late 70's early 80's vintage vibe :)

What says "late 70s early 80s vintage vibe" better than a pink hot tub....?

I could keep all my parts the pink primer colour just like the SAS Desert Land Rovers AKA "The Pink Panther" :unsure:?

Hilux needed its 40,000 mile service so had a few hours spare time to paint the chassiis with a couple of coats need to flip it over and do the top once thats dry and then go back and catch all the bits i have missed.

My CJ6 looks like to be enjoying this rebuild too!
