Couple of further pic's of the 41 120's tank. Pickup tube/sending unit is on top of tank forward of centre on the upper flat surface, behind the dish on the upper front, and is attached by 5 screws. I'd imagine length would be the same.

Howard,
It is a PIA! But from the parts book it looks like the 41 tanks for the 120(1901) was a completely different tank to that for earlier years.
I've included some pic's of the replacement aluminium tank that Wade had fabricated for his '37 120 but they don't really tell the story. I never lined up the '37 and '41 tanks and compared them. If the old '37 tank is still around I'll have another look it next week.
EDIT - Caption on 5th pic should be 358017.......
