So the /6 is in the race car. I had to order a bigger oil tank since the old one for the /4 was to small.
The old one was installed in the engine bay (see picture below) I would like to mount the new one in same area. Problem is, well duh, its bigger. so it extends lower than the old tank and hits a chassis reenforcement bar that was installed by the PO. I can't mount it in the front trunk because of the fuel cell or in the old gas tank location because of all the ducting in there. So I have two questions: 1) If mounted in the old oil tank location it will stick out above the engine lid. Would that be a problem with SCCA, PCA, vintage......???? 2) There is room to mount it inside cock pit on the passenger side firewall. Again would that be a issue with SCCA, PCA, vintage....???? I don't have a copy of the SCCA GCR hear with me. The plan all along for me with this car is for it to be a track day / AX car. I may get my SCCA racing license, more on that subject HERE So what do you think? The car is currently down at Brad Mayeur's place so I can't get any really good pictures of the "brace" issue that the tank hits if mounted in the /4 oil tank location. |
