Here are some photos of the new aluminum oil tank. It has stock OEM fittings, and is a direct bolt in for a factory tank. It has additional oil capacity of about 1 1/2 quarts.
I've got one more in stock, and I've got all the factory tank seals, boots, and 914-6 oil lines. PK (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) 914 Network a914man@netease.net Attached image(s) |

QUOTE "Metal Fabricator's Hand Book" By Ron Fournier. Thats one good book !!! One of my favorites. QUOTE Why doesn't someone make a repro STEEL tank I wonder the same thing. Properly done it should work very well. When I tried to do my tank (before I found my factory original tank) I was going to make it from sheet steel. I made two protos, but I was not happy with them. The welding was the problem. I have only MIG and I think it should be welded with TIG or soldered with brass. Maybe someone can, but I couldnĀ“t weld it with MIG so that I could be 100% sure that there is nothing inside that could get loose and go to the engine. There is no filter between the tank and the engine. So, I was afraid that one short piece of MIG wire inside the tank could rust in two after some time and that piece could ruin my engine. |
