Title: Replacing Fuel Tank Post by: Lids on February 02, 2007, 20:43:40 pm I have wanted to ditch the standard tank for a while, there is only so much you can do with it. Has anybody thought about getting a copy made out of aluminium so that it could be fully polished and detailed? Or do you think chrome plating the tank would be OTT?

It looked gaudy, made me throw up in my mouth just a little bit. Title: Re: Replacing Fuel Tank Post by: jick on February 03, 2007, 12:32:46 pm how unlike you to go OTT mike..... ;)
the only other option in my opininion is to go for a moon or eelco tank.

That exactly what member G77 did - get a ali buggy tank from SSP, Bolt it up near the dash and get a piece of ali sheet to cover the hole - job done :) Title: Re: Replacing Fuel Tank Post by: NoBars on February 11, 2007, 23:10:57 pm I have been thinking that for a while, a nice replacement tank that fits in the stock hole, pretty welds, polished.
Polished is different than chrome IMO. I hate chrome, but I LUUUUUUvvvv polished aluminum. It has a glow. |
