I'm hoping some one has a pdf of the oil tank dimensions. I want to build one like brant. Heck I'll send him a pm and see if he has them. If you've built your own or have the dimensions feel free to post them. Pics are good.

I had a buddy (dead...the nerve) who restored english cars and he made some one off parts by making press dies out of concrete then running over them with a big tractor. He said they only lasted one or two parts, but that was all he needed.
He also welded up steel plate and would use a 50 ton shop press. I saw a few of these parts and they were real nice, but the ones I saw were smaller than a tank. I have the same fear as you about a steel tank, although from what I've seen they rust from the outside in. I cut up a crusty, brazed up 911 tank and it was quite clean inside. Porsche copper coated the outside of the tank, but I don't think the inside was done. You could also mount a couple of cow magnets by the outlet. What thickness of aluminum would you use Rick? Making a buck would be no problem as I have a borrowed /6 tank (crusty, brazed up) sitting here to copy from. I've got till the end of the winter to think about and research this...right now I'm thinking aluminum or stainless. |

You could build a hammer form from oak or some hardwood. Concrete works nice too. A male and female steel mold would work good with a 10 ton press on aluminum. |
