I second Nick's observations.
On a purely practical note, you have begun to realise the pitfalls in your proposition. Why indeed should the petrol tank be both flatter and longer than that of your tourer? Because the Ulster bodywork is completely different in every respect from your original Tourer.
The factory body drawings are here: https://archive.a7ca.org/collections/tec...-drawings/
I will also observe (as an Ulster owner) that although many Touring and Ulster parts are sort of interchangeable in fact very few of them are identical.
Forgive me if I am brutally blunt but it seems ill advised to me to convert a complete historic entity, which you have, into a pastiche. There are excellent Ulster copies which I admire but you are going to find it an uphill struggle to achieve that. Sorry!
Of course, you may have an authentic car to hand to copy, in which case it will be a little bit easier. Even so, Nick's remarks still apply.
Kind regards,
Stuart
