No need to make a fibreglass cover as you already have the bottomless plastic one.(now in need of a re-spray! But never to be affected by fuel again.)

If you cut it in the right place it would spring over the ali tank and you'd still use the rubber frame feet.
Good idea Mr G.

I've also got another thought brewing but need to make some calls to confirm it's possible before making a prat of myself on here.
