Clubsport Dry Sump Tank - I have a cunning plan!
Discussion
hi All
I'm trying to upgrade my Clubsport to dry sump, without further swelling RMS's revenue
. Problem is, no dry-sump tank!
Can I request a bit of yuletide goodwill?
The plan is to get an after-market tank and adapt to suit. To make sure that the tank fits I'll need dimensional data (tank diameter and height), a photo or two indicating connecions and (here's the tricky bit!) some kind of template giving positions of riv-nuts in the chassis. My idea for this
is a card template, extending between the top and btm chassis members where the tank attaches; score a line in the card an inch down from the upper edge and bend to 90deg so that it covers the riv-nut holes in the top member, do the same at the btm edge of the card so that it covers the riv-nut holes in the btm member. The template will now extend vertically between top & btm members with a flange top and btm, covering the riv-nut holes (you still paying attention? 
). Now make a depression in the card at each of the riv-nut holes. Then using a suitable drill, push thro' the card at the hole positions and voila, a crude drill template for positioning a bone-fide RMS dry-sump tank! Finally, post to an appreciative Bikesports racer! Your interest in this? A warm inner glow and the promise of drink after next mutual track encounter next season 
!
Any info very gratefully received! Laurence

Steady Simon !!! 
Hi Simon
Mmmm... let me see now
On the basis that its a naked Radical chassis that I'm coming to measure(!), I'd be very pleased to take you up on your offer 
(probably some time after seasonal festivities?).
Have you retained the Clubsport oil tank, or did you change to a Prosport tank when you went to the 'Busa motor (I only ask because there's a difference in price between the two tanks, so I assume there must be some functional difference between the two, but no idea what)
Cheers
Laurence
