Look at Brett's Injected FC as it has a photo of the tank installed. I considered fitting one but it leaves no room for the exhaust to come through other than through the rear springs. Thanks Craig D Title: Re: point me to posts Post by: JB on October 04, 2012, 08:15:51 AM Hey Freddy,
VN 80 litre tank. To fit, made a frame to weld in and sit the tank from on top. Others have used original straps to mount from underneath. I had the top modified to take 115 litres, but was pricey and no spare wheel well anymore. I can't run the exhaust past it either... But wasn't going to anyway. Had to modify it also for the VT fuel pump and swirl pot, so not a quick fit. For the van I had am alloy one made to fit the original hole, just larger. I think around 70 litres. Cheers JB Title: Re: point me to posts Post by: freddyc on October 04, 2012, 01:15:25 PM JB. I have someone in my local club going to make me one, but am getting impatient. Who made your was it a north Qld company and how much?

I drew the dimensions and the shape that I wanted and then cut it out of alloy. Then took it to a guy who welded it up for me. Drawings long gone for the van I am sorry. JB Title: Re: point me to posts Post by: FCV08 on October 05, 2012, 02:20:40 PM Fred
I have some home made drawnig for a tank I had made up. I redid the whole boot floor to suit the new tank and allow enough space down each side for the exhaust as oreviouos noted. I think I still have the drawing on at home on file. Thanks Craig D |
