early tank..
Positioning the tank on this side would complicate the oil return (to cooler). Line would have to run under front of motor and back to cooler. Hose from scavenge to tank would be a cinch though.

Yaroon, surely there is a better place to mount a 911 tank like where the battery should go. If the tray was cut out there would be enough room there?

the car is a track car, so the front trunk will do just fine

Oh another thing...Jaroen can I talk you into selling me your six tank as you're not going to use it?

Sorry, but nope... gonna keep it in my parts stash. Ya never know what other projects I'll do in the future (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Looks too much like a bomb so I don't think I could hand carry that over to Jeroen.

airport security will love ya

For some reason they didn't mind me carrying the 22mm Tbars onto the flight only when a stupid lady pulled her huge bag outta the bin knocking the TBars onto another passengers head...ouch!
When I carried your engine mount thru security they didn't care only asked "WTF is it? oh, classic car parts, no problem."


You better hurry up and get that car running as Zoey is getting closer to driving age! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/av-943.gif)

What if you modified the motor oil cooler to have the fitting point rearward instead of forward....

then put the tank-to-cooler scavange line behind the motor?

what are the physical measurements of the early tank.
I'd like to take a tape measure to the chassis now.

hmmmmm.....

Another possible consideration would be extra heat in the engine bay.
