As I don't have any fuel tanks in stock
 I thought I better make some. I have original caps to give them the authentic touch.I cut a 10mm thick end template to dolly the end around. They will all be quite exact if you use the same plate. I also fabricated a round bress brake die for the edge radius which is very simple but efective.

Used lots of clamps toform it into shape then a few tack weld here and there. Then all clamps off and it's ready for the next one prior to fully welding.

And the engine, trans and wiring almost complete. I meant to say that anyone who is contemplating using the engine from a blitz, make sure you have the correct sump or it won't fit. I'll post the different sumps later.

The Fuel Tanks Are Impressive
Hi Colin
Very impressed with the fuel tank fabrication. That is great detail work, what type of metal did you use and what corrosion preventive are you going to use on the inside? You solved one of my problems on forming the end caps to get the proper curve, also will be useful on the internal baffles. If you don't mind I like to include your instructive photos in a Tech Tip article for our local MV club newsletter? Cheers Phil

Hi Phil, use what ever pics you like. The material is 16g mild steel and I'll coat the inside with zinc phosphate after completion.
