bottoms are unique to big tanks and salisbury type only as they have a curve to clear top of the diff |
why drink & drive when you can drift & slide |

I recently had my HG 25 gallon tank cut and shut with a standard bottom as the bottom of the 25 gallon was rusted.
Believe the bottoms of the HK are different to the HT&HG and 69 Rust bucket is correct the shape is different around the diff which can be accomodated when you do the cut & shut.
I had my tank cleaned & degassed by Minus Paint in Adelaide and cut & shut by Greens welding in Adelaide which incuded changing over the baffles. Minus paint then applied a resealer to the tank internals.
