748 Ally Tanks

Discussion in '748 / 916 / 996 / 998' started by coops748, Mar 14, 2017.

  1. Evening.

    Currently the proud owner of a '98 748 with 916 top end and worked motor with balanced crank etc. Pic attached.

    Had her since 2004 and just picked up another 748.

    This one's a basket case though and I was thinking of tricking goings up a bit.

    Anyone know anyone who fabricates ally tanks in a 'could have come out of the race division at the factory' kind of styleeee?

    Cheers.

  2. That was scary until I used the currency converter. Not bad all said.

    Anyone in the UK I could actually get face to face with?

  3. Yes I think they offer free delivery but you will get hit with 20% VAT and possibly import @ circa 2.8%.
    Plenty in the UK could make a one off but not sure on lead time or cost.
     
  4. Good to know.
    I'm OK on time.
    Cost is a factor as always.
    Thanks for your input. Very helpful and more food for thought.
    Any experience of uk fabricators?
    I've only ever been to Derby Road and race before for swingarm repairs. Not sure he'd do a tank.

  6. Cool. Think wait might be a bit tricky to guesstimate. Always a very busy man! Top gear though.
