    1973 RSR works 120L Safety fuel cell

    Hi all,

    I'm in the process of building myself a RSR tribute/replica.
    With the point where I have to ship the bare shell to a metal worker nearing, I'm trying to establish what fuel tank I need to fit, as the mechanic will need to create a duct for the oil cooler. It'll all need to nicely fit, so I reckon I need to decide on what fuel tank to use pretty soon.

    The Factory RSRs in 1973 were delivered with a plastic 110L fuel tank; however, the works cars were delivered with a FIA approved FT3 120L safety fuel cell, according to the 'from R to RSR' book by Starkey.
    I've seen a picture of one of the works cars in Vallelunga, where this fuel cell is visible, so with the car I'm building representing the #8 Martini works car as it did the Recce at the Targa Florio, and the Targa being after the race in Portugal, I should really try to get my car fitted with this fuel cell.

    Is there anyone here that has information (specs, dimensions, vendor) of this fuel cell?
    thanks!

    Patrick
