Replacement 12 gallon tanks

Postby VampireTigger » Thu Dec 28, 2023 10:28 am

Whilst working on my Firenza yesterday Paul Dickinson spotted and pointed out to me the fuel tank had a patch of liquid metal on it and it's weeping. I callled Bazz to suggest he consider re-manufacturing the fuel tanks and his response was he's beatne me to it and had one available.

It's seem welded aluminium and a direct replacement. You have to move the fitting brackets from your old tank to the new so not suitable for the car that does not already have a 12 gallon tank but I'll let you all know how I get on when we look into fitting it in the new year. He's also having four core aluminium radiatiors made for use on big engined cars such as Darth which with big valve head and uprated carbs tends to get hot in traffic. I'll be fitting that in the new year.

£400ish

That may sound a lot but sound originals are rare and these are made in very limited numbers. Think he’ll basically do them to order, I’ve managed to bag one he had ready for the Firenza he tracks
