Has any RR or D90 owner cut a hole in the floor of the rear loadspace area to make an acces pannel to get to the fuel pump like the newer ('91-'95) RR's and Discos (I think all years, but am not sure) have?

I'll try to start distributing them this weekend. I've decided to try to get to as many people as possible. This means that people with larger orders (more than 1?) may only get partial delivery. At this point, without the exact orders in front of me, it might even be the case that some with only a single order will have to wait. If necessary, I'll eat the postage costs for sending out later packages to people with incomplete orders. Oh, well, at least they came out pretty well so far. cheers, Jeremy ------------------------------------ From: KKelly6788@aol.com Date: Sat, 24 Aug 1996 02:25:09 -0400 Subject: Fixing a Fuel pump in the field Gerry wrote that it is not an easy field fix to drop a full tank of fuel (over 150 lbs on on my RR if the tank is close to full) to get to the pump.
