Milners never seem to have any, mine came from Roughtrax.
Did you get the out of stock on the Roughtrax website, if so, give them a ring, they are very helpful.

Check out your filler pipe and the flexible tank connector pipe too, also Roughtrax.
Mine were in poor shape and were replaced at the same time, you can see these from underneath without any dismantling, and make sure you have minimum fuel in tank and support from underneath spreading the weight.
I enlisted the help of my local garage with ramps, the idea was to remove/replace one at a time without actually removing the tank completely. When the first strap was undone, the second one snapped, and Graham had the tank on his shoulder 1/4 full of diesel.
There is no drain plug.
You may also want to soak all bolts with plus gas or similar for a few days beforehand, mine were rusted solid, 2 snapped and several were a struggle after rounding off corners on toyota bolts made of cheese.
The tank is made of plastic, so no chance of even moderate heat on bolts.
Have a few replacement bolts handy, I did all mine with s/s versions, cheaper than Toyota cheese.
Good luck ! 😀

Looks like another hit and run. Joins, gets info, and goes. 🤷‍♂️

None of us mind freely giving info, but interaction is what the forums all about ?

Well said tractionman the idea of these forums is info and feedback to help every 120 owner and not just a person with with that particular problem ,

[Tractionman]

Exactly Tony.
Even though we migrate from time to time on other series, it's all about helping each other, give and take, and the friendly banter.
If someone has found time to ask for info, they must surely have time for the odd thanks, or tell us what they found, especially when the forum sends alerts to posts in which members have been involved in.

North South 4x4 look really interesting.  I don't anticipate delivery to be an issue, after all how many folk are able to collect parts in person anyway, but how about the customs/VAT charges and the parcel carriers admin fee, which is itself usually the killer?
