The one on Wiltshire's site labeled Ace tank is correct shape etc. The originals are made of steel and soldered so they can be disassembled and cleaned/repaired as necessary. I have a spare original in my loft which I could measure for you, and send you a couple of pix I have taken but don't know how (as a mere Ace owner, leaving Bristols to my son) to post on here. Through the hole in your boot floor you can see the ends of the chassis tubes; from here two girders are bolted and extend outwards towards the rear corners of the car, and carry the tank on top of them. The ACOC commissioned last year some new, unique, filler caps; they were I think only made to order, but there are probably some secondhand ones around if you're missing that
