update
thanks to cooler weather, and a day with nothing else scheduled i finally got the new surge tank installed
what a "PAIN", it was the hoses not wanting to slip onTO the nipples
it was real work, the nipples/fittings on the new tank are slightly larger diameter than the plastic tank nipples/barbs
bolt up alignment was perfect, it was just a lot of grunt work forcing the hoses onTO the fittings and yes everything was clean and lubed, but there was NO excess hose length to allow for trimming and i wasn't expecting the size difference of the tank fittings, even brand new hose would have given some problem as it would have been the same hose just a little softer/harder ?
here are few pix..first the BY pass Patch i made
then the new tank before install
i was so tired when we got done, that i for got to take a picture of the new tank in place
