Post subject:  why doesnt anyone make rh tanks
Just wondering what the reason is that people who can weld and are fairly handy with metal dont make there on rh tanks for minis
why is it so hard isnt it just like making a box with a spout
i know there must be a reason so what is it and if there isnt who wants to make some :twisted:

probably same reason no one makes honda civic disc conversion kits... liability

they could leak and catch on fire and kill someone, so they'd chase after the guy who made the tanks, and he'd be legally ****ed, wouldn't he.

Marc,
If you got $$$, `Dodge' on MM site (he's in Brissy) was gonna make some SS ones a while back. :wink:

They sell new ones on Minispares.com ... but apparently they aren't any good? Get yerself a 7.5 galon left hand tank! good enough and cheaper

If you have a look at a mini tank it's not exactly a box. If you wanted to replicate a tank like that it would take quite a bit of time & skill as it's not easy to shape metal like that. It would be easier to make a tank that would fit but without all the nice round surfaces.

There's some dodgy ones around that are converted left hand tanks with the filler moved to suit.
