In making a conversion to a 3.2 I am tempted by the availability of a nice matching oil tank, and not exactly thrilled by the price of a more authentic tank. If I have welding skills, is there a way of converting the 911 tank to fit? I would prefer it not in the trunk, but not committed to the left side, although that seems most obvious. Someone must have thought about this before - stupid idea?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif) One car had it in the front trunk and the second car cut up the rear trunk and had it sticking out half way into the trunk. If you don't want to fork out the cash for a stock or aftermarket 914 tank, just use one of them round racing tanks. Please don't hack your 914 to pieces over an oil-tank!
