do what i did, I took a 19 gallon rci cell, then made a 1/4" spacer which was drilled and tapped, and then i made another that fit on top of the pump to clamp it down.

i did the same thing just cut your assembly out of your factory tank and shorten the plumbing on the inside and cut a hole in the fuel cell and bolt it to it

once you take it out and get a good look at it you will understand. Pictures are useless.

whats the depth of the cell? thats a biggie you need to know

i got the 19 because it was 12" deep. This meant that my bottom spacer was only .25" thick. but the shallower the tank the taller of a spacer you need to weld in. There isnt much to see about it
its just a ring with holes drilled and tapped
thats welded to the cell
