The 8gtt is spicing up the workshop ! More livery on the way from a cool shop in UK, referred to us by forum member Keith @KSCarrera; isaydingdong.co.uk
They have some really cool (ready made) period correct decals.

Today while putting the oil tank into a proper alignment for the oil line paths, I needed to remove the v-band clamp which holds the top + bottom together. Found a small bit of unfinished aluminum slag hanging from the fill-tube strainer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

wow, you might expect that from some cheap overseas product, but not from an upscale company based in SoCal. That's not cool. You shouldn't have to disassemble everything, but good thing you took this apart. Did you plan to have a filter between the tank and the pump, or did your pump just get very lucky?

@NorCalScott I'll be revising my oil flow schematic this week; comparing the LBP (engine builders) to the Aviad (tank mfg.) drawings...but I do have a cnc aluminum oil filter stand for this purpose (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

@NorCalScott For the oil filter placement, I'm going with the LBP engine builder's tech handbook !
Just need to be careful during tank filling + topping up; keep small bits of debris from getting in.

I have seen some people place a small billet inline filter between the tank's outlet and the pump to protect the pump's pressure stage. Seems like cheap insurance.

Meanwhile> while inspection of the lower ½ of the oil tank...more alum slag, rough drilling and deburring required at the baffle plate / all 8) ½" dia holes. I used a short section of band-saw blade for lancing off the slag; and then hand sanded with emery cloth.

Baffle plate a BIG 3 minutes to clean up with a #220 fine sanding belt; you think Aviaid Oil Tank Co. could come up with QC checklist for their Made in USA product ¿¿ (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
Cool Okteenerfest Tee shirt too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Either made on a Monday or a Friday. Deburr is a straightforward operation, somebody dropped the ball. Maybe bead blast?

17) pieces of trim headed off for satin-black coatings. Not powder painting, but using a durable 2-step 3M automotive product.

I've added the transaxle oil temp sender here, using the same 10mm x 1.5 port* which normally has a thermo switch that operates the valving for engine coolant to flow through a small heat exchanger on the trans. Our trans cooling system uses a seperate tank & radiator and not shared with engine coolant...and a manual on-off switch for the pump.

www.fittings.space in Sparks, NV, makes all sorts of 'Metric to SAE, AN, NPT adapters, which we used their *stainless steel part here/ in conjuction with a VDO ⅛" NPT sending unit.Attached Image
