[Wanted] 90tdi rear tub.
Has anyone got a 90 rear tub for sale? Must be from a tdi with the fuel filler near the front, a td5 one is no good to me. Reasonable condition as I accept it will have dents/scrapes and corrosion.

The closer to Northamptonshire the better

What sort of damage has it got, as long as it’s reasonably straight down the sides I’ll be interested. I will be cutting 4inches off the rear so if there’s damage on the rear corners then that’s not a problem.

You can use a TD5 rear tub as I had a similar problem when I rebuilt my project TDi and changed the rear tub to a TD5 one, so I installed a pipe to run from the TD5 back filler to the under seat tank. I got a stainless steel exhaust manufacturer to make up the pipe for me think at the time it cost somewhere in the region of 50.00 and works a treat.
You will also need a length of rubber tubing to extend the breather pipe all the original rubber hoses from filler neck and fuel tank are still used, though I bought new OEM ones.
It really is a simple job to fit once you have the stainless pipe and a few hose clips. For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at..

I've got one, but I think it has holes right at the back where a roll cage was once fitted. Reckon it had the front bulkhead trimmed as well for one of those "Mudstuff bulkhead removal kits".

It's parked up down the field at the moment, but can grab some photos if you're interested. It's off an early 90 pickup.

Holes near the back doesn't matter, as said I'll be cutting 4inches out at the rear and fitting a full cage. A trimmed bulkhead sounds interesting also as I have thought about doing that.
