can't figure out how to return the fuel tank spring back on - HPI Savage X 4.6

Hi Guys

I can't figure how to put the bloody spring back on the fuel tank...

Any of you have an old Savage X that could take a close up photo for me?


Thank you!

Pretty sure the hoop part goes up by the pressure nipple inlet and the two legs go in front of the pin against the tank. Not sure how you got yours the way it is without removing the pin...

I don't have any savage's or savage tanks around anymore or I'd take a look and get a good photo. Just spent 20 minutes on google images trying to find one... then bing images... no joy.

The spring is upside down. The loop side wedges down next to where you fill the tank. The spring ends come out under the cover.
Mines a bit dirty right now but this should help.

Sorry about that @gandalfnz, looks like @NCNitro will get you sorted out!

Thank you so much for taking the time to take photos.

I have now made it work. Had to bend the spring arms a bit outwards, as the small plastic tabs that hold them in place broken off.

Cheers

No problem, glad you got it working.
