Were gas tanks mounted on the passenger side from the factory?

The picture shown is VIN 2344. It is indeed a real GT4 race car, the "stradale " model designed by the factory as a street version of the real race car. Yet, facing a huge success with the only 8 real GR4 racecars ( like my Candy VIN 2862 or Guy Trigaux's VIN 2860) , , they quickly abandonned the idea of having a stradale version of the racecar, and all remaining 6 GT4 ( list attached ) left the factory as full racecars. Original GR4 and GT4 racecars have their gas intake on the passenger side, in order to have easier access on race tracks when refueling ( most of the racetracks turn on the right, and having the gas intake on the right allows easier, quicker and safer access in the pitlane when refueling.

Fuel injection stacks
by Jeff Detrich 22 Aug '16

22 Aug '16

Thinking about doing fuel injection with independent throttle bodies similar to Pantera Performance Center's one where the throttle bodies and stacks fit under the engine scree. What happens when it rains? How do you keep the rain out of the rear throttle bodies?

Finding someone

Hey All - I am looking for Robert Vandenberg of Santa Monica. Some custom radiator work was done on a car he bought from Bob Lehman. I don’t know either person, but the radiator shop gave me their names. The work was done on Bob Lehman’s car, which was then sold to Mr. Vandenberg. The same shop gave me another name regarding a custom radiator they built for Dave Sohngen in 2013. Anyone know this person? Jack #4348 Hey All - I am looking for Robert Vandenberg of Santa Monica.
