Is it just me or is the valve installed upside down compared to the before photo?--Mark

^^ Nope, it's not you, it is installed the other way. All the reference info I have shows the valve installed the way it is in the "after" photo. It's hard to tell if the valve was ever removed before, so I don't know if it was installed correctly in the "before" photo. Maybe someone else with a military vehicle can take a look at their valve and see how it is.Comment

The valve ports on my 109 GP are one up, two down. I don't know why a LW and a 109 GP would be different, but you know Land Rover.Comment

Where are your electrical switches, top or bottom? Mine were originally on the bottom, but are now on top. I may not be able to make the elec connections (too close to the seat box), so I may end up flipping the valve back the way it was.Comment

OK, I ended up with the valve back in its original position - turns out it was correct after all.
Now I'm just waiting for the fuel line from the valve to the pump and the "LH Fuel tanks RH" sticker.
Here it is installed:

Fuel Tap
Jac,
The fuel tap on my lightweight is on the right side passenger footwell, I've never seen one mounted on the seat box--is your truck RHD? 24V?
If you need a pic let me know.

Weird - I thought that they were all on the seat box. The manuals only show it in this spot. Mine is a LHD 12V.Comment

My RHD 12v Lightweight has it on the right seat box.Comment

Jac, Looks like you are doing it right. I check in regularly on your progress. I am in the final stages of a frame replacement on my Lightweight. Drop me an E-Mail if you have any questions. jamet07@hotmail.comComment

^^What did you do about the shims used between the rear tub and the chassis? Mine had shims, but they basically disintegrated when I took the rear tub off. I was going to make some up if needed, but I'm wondering what to expect as far as alignment issues.Comment
-
The ones that I had were in decent shape so I cleaned them up and painted them w/POR 15. I haven't done a final fit on the tub yet because my doors arent quite finished so I havent used them yet. As far as yours disintegrating I don't think they would be too hard to make. If you need one for a pattern I can send you one. I would definitely use a differant material though.Comment
