One-off tank needed
clairetoo - 23/4/08 at 07:46 AM

Hiya - can anyone point me to supplier`s or manufacturers of one-off tanks at a sensible price - it not for a kit-car but a project at work !
Thanks in advance

Allyfab made my tank to my design. He's a real craftsman.

Not cheap, but a realistic and genuine price considering the effort that went into it.

Proalloy made me an excellent Custom Rad for my MotaLeira. They do tanks too.

Don't Vickers make tanks?

Matt, the guy that runs Casarva on ebay made mine when he was part of old Luego. He is based near Peterborough if thats any help . Highly recommended.

Thanks for all the input guys - I may have found a local sheet metal place to get them made , if they get back to me in the morning.....

I`m having a bit of trouble convincing the design department ( young , university educated ) that things can be sketched on paper and made by hand a lot quicker than CAD.......
