The neat thing is that the system is height adjustable and
when the tank is fitted there is no interference with any
of the parts nearby.

One more view.

I can hopefully finish the work on the tank this weekend.

Nice job of packaging Mike. 

Don't forget to put something to keep the tank from sliding down when vibration inevitably causes the clamp to loosen.

Hi Sparky, I'm still waiting to hear from my friend on the ratios
and I'll let you when I do.

Will do Pete, thanks man.

Thank you so much for helping Sparky.
I've got a set waiting for me.

Thanks Jerry, I'm still waiting to get a glimpse of your project. You're a dark horse!!!!. 8-)

The health is taking strain here.
The epoxy got to me again so I have to lay off it for a while.

It is what it is so I moved to metal for now.

To anyone that has never built a liner, don't kid yourself that packaging is a snap.
Trying to find a spot for the oil tank wasn't easy.
I wanted it centered on the water tank in front of the motor.

If the big a$$ fire suppression system wasn't already going there it would have been fine.

I eventually settled on having the tank against the right side frame rails and in front of
the motor mount plate.

It needed a plate welded in to attach the tank mounts to.

That's as far as I got. Some pics.

I wedged in the Carbon tank mounts but they'll need trimming
to fit the way I want.

The advantage is that where the tank will sit it will be easy to remove
the filler and lines will be fairly short.

Mocked up the oil tank today.

I have clearance everywhere.

I had to notch one of the chassis brace supports.

[tauruck]

I found an old water pump pulley and used that as a sample.
I have a few inches gap which is good.

[tauruck]

There are two mounts and hose clamps to hold the tank
but the bottom one still needs slots cut so I just used the top one.

There is enough space at bottom for the -16 90* fitting so it looks alright so far.

Another sleepless night averted.

[SPARKY]

isn't packaging a "special construction" fun

[tauruck]

Thanks Sparky!!!!

Fun it is if you like pressure.

One thing you learn is that you're always thinking ten steps ahead.

I haven't had to remove any welded parts in a while now so I must
be learning something.
