Hi Mike,
14 gallon tanks are rare. production aircraft were fitted with 12 gallon or 9 gallon tanks depending on a/c type. can you explain more of the origin of your 14 gallon tank?

Very Easy to fit....Just undo the four sump bolts and of course the Fuel gauge complete and lift out the latter..
Put your hand in and undo all the snap clips and carefully remove it through the hole....

Hartwig are a company who make fuel and repair duel cells and bag tanks in Canada.  i know they do chipmunk cells.  They will make you a new cell if you have the old one as a pattern. They may be able to do it from a drawing.

I can confirm that Hartwig can make the tanks if they are given the drawing or part number. They supplied me with two 12 gallon tanks and all they wanted was the Marston part numbers.
