Combo Tank is finished!
RazMan - 17/3/06 at 05:00 PM

I've just finished my combo tanks and fitted them today

I started with a cardboard mock-up and took it round to my local TIG welder and he copied my design in 3mm alloy and TIG welded it to perfection.
The windscreen wash tank has a good capacity of 2 litres and the brake & clutch side has three individual compartments which have a float switch monitoring all three.
The design utilises the dead space above the rack and acts as a duct to direct the air up through the bonnet vent (there will be another panel under the tank)

I'm a happy chappy

I didn't have a pet TIGger until yesterday - he's pretty reasonable and quick too - I'll give you a card if you come round on Sunday

The more Ilooked at the washer bag, the more I hated it, so it just had to go - it was too small anyway and I like to have a clean screen.

I like that a lot!

As a finishing touch I would add engraved or decal labels "Water" and "Hyd Fluid", and to prevent any chance of you having a blond moment then spraying brake fluid all over your new paint job


Cheers
