I was looking at a left hand tank the other day and thought it wouldn't be that hard to make one if the need arose. The filler tube could be ratted from a RH tank. It might not end up spot on but I bet it would do the job and be a reasonable facsimile of the original. Or moulds could be made and then make a fibreglass one? Would beat paying the sometimes stupid money people sometimes ask for them.


I got my lefts and rights mixed up didn't I. :roll:

If it is extra capacity you are after and not the look of twin tanks it is possible to enlarge your current tank (or a second hand LH tank). I can remember seeing a tank that had been split down the middle and an extra couple of inches added and then re-welded.

This seemed like a good idea to me at the time and I figured it probably would not cost too much to do.
