Alloy fuel tank fabrication

Anybody on this fabulous forum who can recommend a company who can fabricate a fuel tank for my Dax Rush? The Dax item is hideously expensive and I want one with an integral baffled sump for the fuel outlet to supply from.
Thanks in advance,
IanM

Mk engineering are really good, they have made lots of tanks for me and one offs are their speciality. Good prices too.

Alloy racing fabrications, you won't get better. Welding was spot on and get service.

Bryn at Allyfab in Chesterfield did mine. Great bloke - massive scale railway stuff in his garage with lots of engineering toys to play with. £220 all up including delivery. He worked from a polystyrene buck I made, baffled it etc.etc. and it was perfect!

I'm a bit sceptical on the strength of an aluminium tank tbh especially for puncture resistance and would always opt for stainless instead. It's just too risky IMO

What do you do in your tin-top? Plastic tanks are the norm these days.
