Sirpent Posted August 11, 2019 Author Share Posted August 11, 2019 Been a few weeks, unfortunately illness and waiting for John Lange to finish the custom rear control arms have slowed me down So moved onto the rear fuel tank fabrication, using the LPG donut tank as the basis First was chopping 65mm out of the height through the centre aa well as removing the center tube section Then it was a matter of fabricating a centre rise section to clear the spare wheel well hump With the modifications, I’ve worked out it should be between 58-60 litres plus another 8-10 in the additional surge tank All in all so far a perfect fit See you all next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirpent Posted August 18, 2019 Author Share Posted August 18, 2019 When necessity is the mother of invention Core of the tank is now complete and can now to move onto all the ancillary pipes and fittings I’m having an alloy surge tank fabricated to sit inside one of the storage bins then route fuel and vapor lines between the 2 within an enclosed alloy conduit An alloy bolt down lid will be made for the main tank where I’ve provisioned the access hatch and on which the pump filter etc will hang off for the main tank I still have to weld in a filler neck and breather to the main tank to the vapor tank also Then finally a round alloy plate will go over the top of the tank to seal it off from the interior and meet certification requirements Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1969honda Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Love the use of a hub and old brake rotor. Very keen to see the finished tank, looks very unique and functional; also sounds like a great use of the storage bin space! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Buddy We are all a bit insane to have started these projects so no holds on how we accomplish the result I say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpndave Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Nice job on the control arms! I really like those fabricated/boxed parts. Should be super strong and reasonable weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
