This might seem a strange request. I'm restoring a Mk6 Escort estate and Ford saved money by not fitting any access to the fuel pump at the top of the tank (under the rear seat). So it's a full tank out job when the pump goes.

I understand that 75/ZT's have a panel - wondering if anyone would send me one for the cost of postage? I wouldn't know if they are the same on saloons and tourers but, if they are, a tourer one would probably be best.

No idea if I'll be able to make up a good fit into my Escort but worth a bit of effort to save time in the future. Ideally, if someone has the capability, the panel with the 'hole' as well so I can graft it in neatly but should be able to simply cut a clean hole and make up suitable fittings if not.

Thanks for reading.....
