Armando had someone that made them to $$$ order, but it's been awhile. Worth calling him... don't think Mittlemotor was the source. Some guy in Austria IIRC.

I may be wrong but didn't Porsche modify the 911 100L tank to work in the 914? Might have my information mixed up.

No, completely different from a 911... the GT tank is almost like two regular 914 tanks put together.

I would think you could potentially cut out and properly reinforce the front bulkhead then get a tank built to fit through.

Are you trying to hedge against future gas price hikes by filling up your 914 as much as possible at today's price? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif)

QUOTE(SirAndy @ May 12 2022, 05:03 PM)  Pretty sure its this guy, cannot for the life of me remember where or how I stumbled across this info but anyway. 99% sure he has or does make them https://dante-bestform.ch Mittlemotor is listing them at 14k euros (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) - I remember when they were about 8k and I thought that was a lot. Guess I was wrong pls update if you reach out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |

I could not figure out if this is still available, but there is one here. But worth a look. Seemed like they mentioned where they got it. @SirAndy

Looking around on the Dante - Bestform site there is a photo of the necessary parts for the reinforcements to the bulkhead:

I actually had my grubby hands on that one some 20 years ago before it went to Armando. At the time i didn't really have any use for it, so i was happy to see it go to a good home.
