Thanks. I have a big list of stuff to fit to both Patrol and Jayco. I need to eject the wife car out of the garage for a while again I think.

Keep the old bolts in the car as spares mate. On a Licola trip Sprock and I did last year he managed to lose a bolt, one of the real long ones too on a track. We eventually found it a few hundred metre back but had to pillage my Patrol for the right sized nut to secure it back in.
I am really not sure how we would have gotten him out if we didn't find that bolt.
Funny you should say that as I purchased the new bolts from Patrol a Part and they seemed expensive until I tried to get a spare set using commercially avail stock from a bolt supplier. The PAP factory genuine units are half the price of the generic ones. I have since purchased a pair for spares from PAP. Unfortunately I will have to destroy the drivers side front/long bolt as the belly tank is nestled right up and past the bolt in the direction it needs to be pulled out. I am not dropping the tank to get it out, so the angle grinder will take the head off and simply reverse the installation so bolt comes in from the outside to the nut. I think @AB and @Rossco went this path also when they mounted their tanks.
In case anyone does go the external supply route, you need M14 x 90mm and M14 x 180mm long bolts and the respective nuts.
You will have to cut a few mm off the new bolt when installing the other way around too mate. I had to remove that bolt over the weekend too and had to take off my rock slider to get it out but that is a lot easier than dropping the tank.

Thanks Winnie, alway good to get a heads up and not have to backtrack. Where are you up to with the conversion?
Let's not go there! Had a stoush of bad luck and keep losing days.
Rear diff is under the car, just waiting on new seals so I can put the axles in and drop the rear off the jack stands so I can lift the front and get started there.
