Fuel tank perch at last

[Gerry]

Did a bit more tonight. Played with the underpanel. Pic says everything

.
I was a little worried the width would be too much compared to the diff pad, but with the tank being the width it is it seems to work

A VERY Clean look, hope you can get at all your fittings to tighten things up, with it all welded together, may have been nice to have had that new lower piece be remove-able?

Once that mount is painted your eye will be drawn straight to the tank. Absolutely beautiful. It seems to me that you said a while ago that yellow was an interim color. Is that true or will it be the final product?

All the flexible pipework will be fitted to the tank and then fed thro the perch in to the body. Then the tanks just bolts down. The hole thro the perch is big enough to make this very easy.

The yellow is staying. The more I see it the more I like it. Once the Ts done some miles its a strip down and repaint, in the same color

Really nice job as always. I remember I was one of the ones that voted yellow I think it makes it stand out in a crowd with all the other Gerry touches.

Gerry,

Good news on the yellow staying, that way you don't have to come up with a new name!

Great job on the perch!

I saw on some site or other an ad for the "Leg Show 'T'". (I know that you took a few ideas from that one.) Apparently it is for sale for $28k. Guess crabby old Bobby Nunes (The devil made me say that!) got tired of it or went broke or something... You could buy it and be done, but I think the Yella' Fella will actually come out better and is certainly more interesting, engineering wise.

Its been up for sale a while now. Started off at 80K plus. You know, if I had not started my own all those years ago I would have seriously considered it. Problem is I have no where to keep it with a rear end that wide.

More work today. Almost finished.
Pics below and at the same links as above to photobucket

Working out the way I envisaged it, so more merlot and back to the other workshop tomorrow for the final touches. All it will need then is a light dressing with a hand file to even it all up.

Shaping up right nicely...

Very nice I remember you where looking at shock designs but never saw the finished product really nice.
