I know there are a ton of diy people here and since I am having another order of oil tanks laser cut I was wondering if anyone might be interested in a complete kit where you or a local welder could complete? They would be priced very attractively so it would be worth your while. Let me know who would be interested and would figure prices according to interest.

And for the non concours set,... How about a build-concept where the tanks are built out of a one piece multi layer casting of, say,.. high temp resistant carbon fiber composite / kinda like race cars do it,... er... vacuum formed to exact spec to original / to fit the cutouts in the 914 engine bay and with mounting hardware built in. hmmm This is more interesting than the carbon fiber engine hatch i am delivering all over God's Creation... and having to put you guys thru the,... well you know...

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) In all seriousness, Ben is talking about a product that he currently makes (I have one in my car) he just recently improved (laser cut) and is trying to deliver to the 914 community in an optional lower cost, DIY kit. Carbon fiber is certainly an interesting high tech material but not always the first choice for a project where limited budgets and small production runs are a concern. |
