Given how serious of a car your building..
I would go the cell route, in the interest of safety.. (I can justify spending a lot of money in the interest of safety)..... plus you can move that weight down. brant |

OH.. big debate ahead...lol
Weight down YES. But.... weight forward is NO good. Cockpit passenger side floorboard would be ideal. I can ship you a gas tank Jeroen or you can buy a fuel cell. Free tank and I will eat the shipping for all your help. B |

Brad, thanks for the offer!
I shouldn't have a problem getting another stock tank though, so no need to ship me one (shipping a big piece like that will prolly cost more than a NOS tank anyway (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)) I've got a growing "shoppinglist" of stuff I can't get here, so I'll add that to the first "pallet" that comes this way (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I'll prolly take the fuelcell route... that way, I can mount an oiltank where the fueltank was Finding this rust just turned me down... I was actually looking forward to cleaning and painting the tank. I was finished in 5 minutes (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) cheers, Jeroen |

I've got a free tank as well (perfect '75 tank), but shipping will be pricey.......I plan on shipping out his new roller bearings and 914 body parts tommorow unless you think we could combine everything for him.
I planned on using the US Postal Service, but I think the tank will be too big to ship with them. I shipped a small box to his homeland last year....20"x4"x10" (8lbs) cost 23 bucks with the USPS.......UPS quoted me 86 dollars for the same package...ouch |

Hey Mike,
Don't worry 'bout the fueltank (thanks though!) USPS works just as good/fast as UPS and is a lot cheaper, so go that route If possible, ship as a "gift" (for tax purposes), but only if possible... cheers, Jeroen |
