This is the bit that is causing me the trouble. The unit mounts with a VDO
tank flange and it is going to be a really close fit. I may end up having to
take a bit out of the "headrest" ply to get it to fit. If I do then I will
make a small cover for the unit and effectively raise the "headrest" floor by
an inch or so with a dummy base.

ps
Found a good way of establishing just where the tank sits. I rigged the
fuselage lower half up in its proper position then put the cockpit module
with tank into the fuselage. With the tank now sitting on the floor of the
fuselage I stuck several short plastic marker strips onto the fuel tank sides
acting as spacers to indicate how far away it was from the cockpit module
front and top.
It was then a simple job to pull the cockpit module out, turn it upside down
and position the tank with packing so that the plastic strips were in the
same location as they were when the module was in the fuselage.
