Any tips on fitting one of these into my Spanish S2 please? Bought it a while ago and not sure if I can just bolt it in?

Thanks

I've had issues with the bolt in 12 litre ones that I sell when fitting to S2. The small cups that hold the bottom tank rubber need removing or bending flat for enough clearance to get the tank in. Not sure if that would apply to this tank also and not sure if the Spanish frame has the same tank rubber cups.
Just try it, it'll either fit or it won't. If there's enough clearance then they're a doddle to bolt in. Much easier than the 12 litre ones, as getting the tool box back in is difficult as there's very little room to get at the trunnions that hold the tool box in place.

Thanks for the info, I'll give it a go and set aside plenty of time for fettling. Also going to treat myself to a rear exit fast flow tap at the same time. Thanks again.
