KVA fuel tank

Hi guys, I have a part built KVA that I am working on. The fuel tanks have the filler caps at the back of the car, in the engine compartment. I do not like the idea of pouring in petrol either side of a hot engine and so want to turn the tanks around and have the filler caps as per everyone else, up the front. Has anyone done this before? and does anyone have any templates of the filler opening for the front clip?. I would also appreciate any pictures or diagrams of the filler arangements. I do not have the front bit (front wheel arch) yet. Any help would be appreciated. I (hopefully) enclose the pics of the fuel tanks as taken off.
Thanks
Murray

PS. the tank is the nearside (port) one and I want to put it onto the offside (starboard) side.

I think it's just great that people like Andy (and others) who RUN these companies take the time to help with problems and queries that owners/builders have, this is such a great site and resource to have. We really are VERY lucky.
Happy new year to everyone.
Simon

Re: KVA fuel tank

My car is a GTD with KVA bodywork. I have attached a couple of pics which show the position of the filler cap on my car. Hope this helps.
Cheers
Mike
