Re: Dry sump oil tank
If you mean a custom shape etc then look to Think Automotive who fabricate lots of bespoke tanks in alloy.
I had a huge Dry Sump tank made to my design by them with awkward fitting threads etc and they were great. 2 weeks promised, delivered in 2 weeks.

I can certainly recommend Concept Racing. The quality is superb. Real nice people. Here's the custom tank they created for my 914 rally car.

Are your wheels/ tyres on the wrong side of the car , should the start point in centre of tyre not touch the wet Tarmac first and push / channel water away to the side of the tyre , the way yours are it's feeding water to the centre of the tyre???...Mark.

Re: Dry sump oil tank
+1 for Bob and Clare at Concept. they made my dry dump tank, fuel cell, swirl pot and did the race cage on my Boxster. Better TIG welder / fabricators you will struggle to find. They are near Hereford and worth the trip - always interesting cars to look at. Lovely people,moggy wrote:I can certainly recommend Concept Racing. The quality is superb. Real nice people.

Look up the Volksworld feature on Bob's old splittie cab that he built on a space frame from scratch with a 3.0 sc in the rear as an indication of what they can do....
Don't have any pics of the 914 oil tank, but I made a mock up out of cornflake boxes and bog roll and they made it; it was on their stand at the Autosport show a few years ago and people kept saying 'you made that from that!?'
