Hi Gents,
I need an oil tank, and feed and return lines for ZZR1200 engine although I assume these parts are the same for most installations? Powertech have kindly found me a sump pan, and pump kicking around but the tank and oil lines are a bit harder to come by.

I have found some tanks on E-bay? what size are the ones used on most radicals?

Hi Scott

I went through this loop myself a couple of years back.

The oil tank is a real problem, because the space that it has to fit into is very tight and the unions have to be positioned just right or they'll foul chassis tubes or the right-most exhaust primary. After looking at various after-market tanks, none of which was quite right, then having a less-than-successful attempt at getting one made up by a fabricator, I bit the bullet and went to Radical and paid the £500+ asking price.

For the feed and return lines I went to Think Automotive, who are based in Middlesex. I turned up at their premises with sketches of what I needed (line lengths and end fittings details) and they made the lines for me while I waited. Can't remember the prices, but they did a trade price deal for me and were very helpful.
