Any aluminium fuel tank makers??

Post by V6steve »

Does anyone know who would, or is making fuel tanks in aluminium for a Capri? Perhaps there are some race car tank experts out there who may have the kit existing from the old days. I have four 2.8 tanks here in various condition and a new steel tank isn't exactly small beans. May need a tank guard though. Ha....made of steel!!

Thanks for that Danny. Funny, they didn't flash up when I googled it. I used to get stuff like that made in the 70s when I was stage rallying. There were many firms doing it then, or we could rob a tank from someone who had a race car as sometimes the regs changed and they had to move onto a new tank. If I do this I'll post the result on here.
