Fuel tank brackets!

Made some brackets to mount the fuel tank

Bolts on the same points as the original fuel tank

+- 3° angle so the fuel will flow to the lowest point (fuel tap)

Yes the bolts are a bit to long. Will look for shorter one's!

welding the alu fuel tank

point welded in place

looks ok so far

Fuel tap/filter mount (for the bottom of the fuel tank)

Weld a threaded 'nut' to a plate 

After the part cooled down, turn it flat

Use cutting oil!

Et voila, the fuel tap mount is ready!

Test fit for the fuel sender

Top mounting plate, drill a hole size 40mm

Check before using parts. 'QC =/ Good quality!'

But it looks quite well made...

Replaced the nuts & bolts with M5 RVS model

So far so good! Checked with an mulitmeter if the little white part does it job. OK we have + & - contact!

I did drill one hole a bit wrong so i had to fill her out so it would fit. But with a big washer you will hopefully not see it... 

i'm a bit sick so working in the garage is not really on my mind. Sorry about that.

Fuel tank part 3

Test fit of the inner plate's

measuring the top plate. Ready for the milling & drilling proces!

Testfit of the ALU Fuel tank.

Nice fit just above the rear axle

Easy mounting hole's of the side. Taking the place of the original tank

I chose to extend the tank a bit to the rear so i could take more fuel.

But still have a very big trunk for a sports car.

Easy mounting hole's on the side

construction plan

So my old tank is not worth saving...

even the fuel sender unit was out...

Looks like an improvement to me :-)
