David Gerald were doing them in 2012, and se were Racing Green / Clever Trevor. I think I got mine from TVR Carparts - now ML as the last poster says.

ETA there was another company called Willow Sports who were making them - their web site says "out of stock" but maybe they can still make them. http://www.willowsportscars.co.uk/cooling_and_fuel...

Thanks chaps will make some enquiries

They are actually very simple in construction. I made my own, in slightly heavier section steel, in a couple of hours. If you do not have the skills/equipment to make your own, and cannot get one readily from a retail supplier, then I suggest you just contact a local fabrication company and ask them to replicate your own.

If you get me a pattern or drawing I can make you one regards shaun

It just bolts on if I did mine again I'd have it done in stainless, Shaun's the man.

I have a very rusty, but fine as a pattern, one here (Redditch)... not a million miles from you Shaun

[DamianS3]

Is yours stainless now mr Philpot..?

[phillpot]

No, not yet..... but would be glad to "test" the first prototype!


but then I'd need a stainless tank to go with it



When I repaired mine I was told that the size of box section used is not "standard"?

I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem to go up or down a bit on the size.

Hi Nige, still lurking on the best forum then! Surely your not bored with the C**m yet?

Sounds like I'd better arrange to pick up 'my' tank cradle from you before you sell it! Oh, and pay for it of course.
