i will give it a go cheers mate

hey fallguy, the large hole i have put in aft transverse was because my tank was 20mm longer and needed to go into that transverse what would be my best option to be able to repair that hole but in 20mm to compensate for the tank im thinking i could glue wood to create a form and then glass it...

Thanks for the reply and solid info I will give yous an update on progress cheers!!

Hey mate I have taken some measurements hopefully this is what you needed

Hey mate I managed to get some photos today I also went to a fibreglass shop to see what I could buy here and looks like I can buy 1708 and the West systems epoxy unless you suggest something else I have attached some photos of under the tank appreciate the help to make sure I do this repair...

Hey guys , I would have about 40mm above hoses to the floor. Thanks for the reply. So my idea was to some how have the hoses running to back of boat and have breather higher then filler neck. I have drawn a rough photo of what I was thinking might work but I would need to have a hole in that...
