Alloy Fuel Tank Fabricator

i'm after someone that migh be able to fabricate a fuel tank for me,

I'm after the following

270mm high x 170mm wide x 720mm long
50mm inlet tube
50mm deep sump in the centre
baffled
3/8" inlet and outlet
1/2" Breather
2 x tank straps

I already have a vertical float fuel sender so the baffles can't interfere with it,

Thanks in advance

Looks just like i need, just with the inlet at one end.

Do you know how thick the ally is on them?

Not sure on the thickness but you can have any configuration you like.

The swage lines make the sides stiff and its baffled and sumped

If you dont mind me asking, where did you get the vertical float sender? Is this like a dip tube sender?
