LRA Sill Tank for 130 Fitting

[strangy]

Hi all, Just picked up an LRA sill tank (new old stock) from the local ARB store. It is apparently for all 130 chassis models. 65litres

I just put it up to my 130 DC chassis to check and looks like it is too big to fit between the outriggers.
Any body got pics or fitting instructions or definitive info?
LRA have only one listing for the 130 RH sill tank. Which apparently fits all.

It has "130 Big Cab" written on it and was held for many years for the Telstra fleet. Any chance this a custom job?

Thanks

130 big cab is a single cab
I don't have great experience with a 130 chassis
But maybe the duel cab rear cab crossmember bolts on
And is is the way??
130 big cab 'Telstra' I'm pretty sure means the extra cab so
May have the cab rearmost bolt on crossmember is in a different place

So the next question then is...
Would someone be able to either, measure the distance from the Rear face of the RH front outrigger, to the front face of the second RH outrigger on their Extra Cab or Big Cab?.

Alternatively my rave CD (which doesnt have defender stuff on it) has a page with chassis dimensions. Anyone with a link or access to the dimensions for the Extra/ Big Cab would be appreciated.


Ok Disregard all the above just found the full Chassis specs and dimensions on my Rave CD.:blush:
All measures as per book. No mention of any chassis difference for the extra cab and shows the 130 chassis the same for all bodies. Bolt brackets obviously hav some different positions.
Bit confused.
Some fitting instructions would still be helpful,Hoping LRA can provide. Thinking the tank is wrong hence it sitting in the shop for so long.

Cut and Shut is the next plan.
Thanks

LRA (long range automotive) ?, I dindn't think ARB sold them. Rather preferring to only sell Long Ranger which is ARB. Do they have a bevel or just square boxy looking. Long Ranger is square.

I have Mulgo's which i think are LRA but his spec added to them, but don't quote me on that. Mine encompass the middle out rigger and bolt onto the front and third out rigger. They would be a good 1200 or 1300mm long.

Strangy, mine's an LRA tank on the crew cab and it's a tight fit.

I've had it in and out once, have to do it again as the sender seal appears to be leaking.
Does yours need a tab welded to the chassis rail too ?

Unfortunately I'm heading off in the morning for a few days so no piccies until I get back.

If you post up a pic and some dimensons I'll measure up my 130 single cab and let you know if it fits. Though as you say I wouldn't have thought there'd be that much difference between chassis.

Deano :)

Definately Long Range Automotive, nice bevel and angles, ARB just took over the reseller store in Alice and they have a few "bits and bobs" left over. This tank amongst other things.
This one is meant to fit between 1st and 2nd outrigger.

It seems to.... however, LRA suggest this tab bolts to the gearbox crossmember? Which doesnt seem to work at this point.
They cannot (maybe its too hard) supply fitting instructions as they reckon this tank nearly 12 years old.

I should have some pics and dimensions shortly. I just want to make sure I dont end up with it mounted too far outboard or too high/low.

I'm back so will get some piccies today ;)

I've been stuffed around on very job I've turned up on, so went home in protest :D

[strangy]

Hi Rick, any update on a length?

I'm away for couple of weeks so no rush.

Cheers

Here's some piccies.
On the bottom pic you can see the tab welded to the bottom of chassis rail.

I'll grab some dimensions when I drop it, I need to fix the leak and I have to get to the fasteners for the rear door stay.
