The entire assembly is hard joined ..It appears that I may be able to slide the tank out without cutting the dash arm free. Does anyone know if this is possible ...I will try to attach photos when I get time ... Right now the tank is free and loose at all places except on the right and left sides near these dash rail brackets. I have been applying penetrating oil and will do so daily until it loosens up. This is how I have freed the rest of it after 86 years of being together.. Please. advise if you have done and open cab 28 or 29 ..The phaeton, roadster and other open convertible top models should be the same or close. thank you ...jeremy

I thought by reading the posts here that only the cars that had the extra sheetmetal over the tank like the fordor and the cabriolet needed to be removed by dropping the the tank into the car. Does not the open cars lift out, up and towards the front? I was wrong in my post about years being the same so I'm trying to get it straight for the future. I don't remember reading anything about drilling out rivets.
