i should edit that post. it should say, "is the next step to get rid of the current paint and painted on filler? either by blasting or dipping" |

Gonna put some sort of fancy fuel cell in that boot now? 20 gallon baffled long range ally tank with internal pump and swirl pot? I'm thinking of something similar for the Carledo and have a local guy lined up to make it! Steve |

I'll be interested in one of those too Steve, depending on price of course! |

Did he roll those recesses into the boot floor panel with a jenny? I'm impressed if he did. I was looking for a quality deep throated jenny to make our boot repair panels but succumbed to a couple of press tools in the end. |

i'm not sure how this happened but i havent got any pictures of the tank. Its an ally box tank which will live on a frame to keep it horizontal. there will be some kind of swirl pot but not internal, with dual Facet fuel pumps(in series). |

Yes Alun, a vice mounted bead roller. We also used it on the front floor pans, and the firewall for the back seat panel. edit: similiar to the ones seen here: http://www.wnealservices.com/acatalog/bead_rollers.html |

Are you keeping the injection on the Redtop or succumbing to the unholy but awesome bike carbs?Steve Shaun, I haven't discussed money yet as the thing is still in the design stage. I'm still running a standard tolly tank at the moment which is a bit small for my taste, barely 8 gallons, along with a remote pump pulled off a scrap Espace and NO swirl pot at all. I was told "you must have a swirl pot or everything will go wrong/not work/blow up the pump/other dire warning" . Four problem free years later I'm telling theory to take a hike and going with the real world! So my only beef is with capacity which means that the new tank is quite low on the to-do list and a long way behind the remap! |

I have a manifold already, a Jenvey one but the fitment is the same. Exactly, the induction noise and I think webers/dellortos look awesome, mine are the latter. Obviously they will be soda blasted etc eventually. |

Snap! I used a bit of angle, also the mounting point is offset so I can tuck my strap away. |
