The later Midget tanks bolt right up. They do not have the long attached
neck like the original Bugeyes did.
I bolted the later tank up and used the later Midget neck. I took the
later Midget neck to tank hose and cut it to adapt to the neck and tank.
I will have to crawl in the boot to see exactly what I did but it only
took me an evening to do it. (of course I do have a bunch of parts in
the garge, basement, bedrooms)
