CockneyRick Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Can't find where i originally asked the Q, so i'll ask again. I asked, would the Slabby tank foul the AN6 fittings as they 90 degree over the top of engine. I was told that no probs, it'll fit. Well it don't & is nowhere near! I can't put the cam fittings down instead as the AN6 fitting will foul the carb. So how the hell do i get this to work? Quote Link to comment
Gixer1460 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Turn them upside down then the 90's can face forward towards the cooler? Quote Link to comment
CockneyRick Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 (edited) That's the 2nd pic. The tank rests on the 90s & sits above by at least 4 inches Edited March 22, 2019 by CockneyRick Quote Link to comment
dupersunc Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 (edited) Mine face down, but I've used forged 90s rather than swept 90s like you have. The forged fittings clear the carbs. Edited March 22, 2019 by dupersunc Quote Link to comment
CockneyRick Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 I think i'll do some straights, down where the original pipes went, then off to right & into the cooler Quote Link to comment

A M8 used straight head fittings with 180 degree fittings which were orientated at about 45 degrees and the hoses were virtually sitting on the cam cover - doesn't help does it......LOL!

CockneyRick Posted March 23, 2019 Author Share Posted March 23, 2019 Maybe the lack of space is the 11 engine & tank in a 750 frame? Quote Link to comment

Yep. that's the issue on mine, no room between the 1100 donkey and tank in a 750 frame. Your solution with the straight down fittings is how they run on the rrk with the factory fitted head cooler under the main cooler. Quote Link to comment
CockneyRick Posted March 23, 2019 Author Share Posted March 23, 2019 Explains a lot. If i hadn't had the tank hydro dipped, i'd consider having it cut & flattened as it's never gonna need a large tank of fuel. Quote Link to comment
