Rear Panel Fit Over Fuel Vapor Tank

[Duffman]

My early model Z has a metal vapor tank replacement for the original plastic one (from PO). I am upgrading the interior and am finding the rear right plastic panel will not fit over the metal vapor tank because the tank sticks out too far. Are there smaller metal tanks? Any thoughts or ideas?

Thanks.

You must find the plastic panel that fits over your tank. Find out what the tank fits and look for the panel. You can paint the new panel with SEM to match your interior. Or, get a stock tank and you will be just fine. Your choice!

You will need to find the plastic tank or bypass it. The later panels do not fit your 70 right.

Thanks for the responses. Am reluctant to try to find a good used plastic tank, as they are somewhat impossible to find (unless someone has a good source!). Have read prior threads about bypassing the tank with a different configuration, has anyone done this and have any feedback?

Thanks, again!
