baldrick Posted May 25, 2020 Posted May 25, 2020 Anyone done it? what thickness and grade of steel did you use? im on about filling the big recess where the airbox normally goes in the underside for more fuel capacity. Some gibbon has also taken, im guessing a sledge, or a 2lb mash hammer to the underside to get dynas to fit. What a fukn mess. Anyone carried out repairs to thiers, any pics? these 2 are up for paint stripping next.. 1 Quote
dupersunc Posted May 25, 2020 Posted May 25, 2020 the tanks are around 0.9mm thick, so 1mm or 20g will do the job. I've welded up where the fuel sender went on mine, and fitted a boss for a pingel. they do move quite a bit when you weld them, though I used tig which puts a bit more heat in than mig. 1 Quote
baldrick Posted May 30, 2020 Author Posted May 30, 2020 ok thanks for the replies. I need to get some more gas for the tig, but the shop is not open, du to some virus thing that's going around, so it will have to wait. Quote
manden Posted May 30, 2020 Posted May 30, 2020 I'm thinking of doing it to mine as well. Prolly give a 23l tank :) Quote
baldrick Posted May 30, 2020 Author Posted May 30, 2020 might have to add some of that anti fuel slosh foam stuff to it, but would be great to have a 200 odd mile range, and the indent is a waste of space because the std. airbox isn't gonna go back in...ever. Quote
manden Posted June 1, 2020 Posted June 1, 2020 Maybe just baffle the tank when it's open. Make a better low point for fuel exit, and a better flowing fuel crane Quote
