I'm hoping some one has a pdf of the oil tank dimensions. I want to build one like brant. Heck I'll send him a pm and see if he has them. If you've built your own or have the dimensions feel free to post them. Pics are good.

The aluminum tank is mine. I built it as a welding class project. It does fit in the stock location. There really isn't any plumbing inside of it. There is an inlet that directs the "fall" of oil over hte screen. There also is a breather that has a baffle partially covering it to keep oil slosh from directly exiting. I also baffled the bottom of the tank to potentially improve corning oil over stock.
but it really doesn't have any plumbing in it. The stock or nice repro tanks have tubing so that returning oil is forced through the filter prior to dropping into the pool below. I skipped that for better mounting flexibility and am going to use a remote oil filter. With the stock filler neck and dipstick, this tank has about 175$ in supplies alone. If someone was paying for labour, professional welding, and the costs of tooling, I don't think the prices of aftermarket tanks are making anyone rich. |
