"The Tank"

[sfadchi]

I'd like to share my first impressions with you guys. The piece looks absolutely great! The powder-coating looks very well done, and the welds are also very professional. One big difference I notice was the barbed fittings look exactly like stock specs. I can tell you there is no way they are slipping off. Another nice feature is that it comes with a drain valve, or a threaded aluminum plug for the drain hole. I'm going to be running the plug so I'm not tempted to use ice at the track :rolling:. I've been told this is one of the first runs and that the final finished production version is going to be even nicer, even though I can't see how.

Looks sweet. Is this a combo tank? If not what do you do with the radiator tank?

It's a combo tank. In the 3rd pic you can see about a 2" gap between the tanks. Very nice Tank.:detective:

[sfadchi]

Yes, it's a combo tank. The aluminum is extremely thick and there is no heat transfer at all.

I do like it, very clean! Thanks, Bill

Never know MC, could be a bridge. Very nice piece.

nope, their independent for sure...but seems it would be a pain to remove when having to service the belts, etc in that area of the engine. the separate tanks that are out can be removed and swung to each side w/o disconnected any hoses, but i dont see that with this piece...you'd have to disconnect one side, which means some draining is involved...

.......saw this on TS....so to answer my own question, I think it was in the mid 600s......................a bit much for me I am afraid....................
