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(siverson @ Jul 4 2004, 08:33 AM) Some thoughts: - I agree that you should never deal with Vellios. What a pain in the ass. - However, what's wrong with the Vellios tanks? Are they really that much heavier, I never noticed... I've used mine for about 7 years and it's been leak free. What else is it supposed to do? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) - Why doesn't someone make a repro STEEL tank? To be honest, I wouldn't really care if a larger factory-style steel tank was a couple pounds heavier than the factory tank. Wouldn't steel be a lot easier to work with (cheaper), and with the proper new coatings last forever as well... -Steve Ya, Sheet steel could work nicely. coat it with bed liner stuff. LINEX or Tuff coat or something. BTW. For what it's worth. try rolling the edges of the flat aluminum pieces before welding. The look is cleaner and the warpage is minumized. There are several examples of this in "Metal Fabricator's Hand Book" By Ron Fournier. |
