Leaking gas tank

Door bumper installation
I bought a 28-29 door bumper set (pictured) for my 29 Roadster Pickup but I cannot see how to install it without completely dismantling the door. Anyone got any handy tips?

Re: Faulty Flasher
Mine is not an LED flasher - it is for normal incandescent bulbs. On the flasher there is current at the "P" (power in) terminal but no current on the "L" (lights) terminal. I think there should be...

Faulty Flasher
I think my brand new 6 volt flasher unit might be faulty. Is there a quick and easy way of testing to see whether it is faulty before installing it in the car?

Re: Zenith float-level guage
I'm still confused! Looking through the drain-plug hole with the plug removed, it appears to be blocked by the main jet. Surely that must block any fuel flow and prevent the guage from working?
