Pic?...here's what the tank looked like when I finished it (for my son's TII):

WOW!!!!!!! I love it! Thanks for the pic Todd. Alex actually reclaimed his tanks and diff today so I took a BUNCH of measurements and yeah, I decided I'm going to do it. I'm going to take a slightly different approach than you did though, I'm going to build it from scratch out of some .125" AL, haven't decided on 5052 or 6061 yet, gotta see if the supplier can brake .125" 6061, but prob not recommended. 5052 always bends easy.

I'm not entirely sure on the dimensions as of yet, but it looks like it will be about 20gals, and will have a built in surge tank, 3-4 qts, with a drop in Bosch 044.... yeah, I'm going to try it again and try to quite it down a bit. If it's too loud, I'm going to have the Cosmo pump flowed and make sure that it's up to snuff so if it is too loud, I'll use the Cosmo pump as the lift, and the supra tt pump as the pressure pump.

So no sump, no external fittings, no external pump but a maze of hoses running back and forth. I'll use the stock level sender, and I'll build a sump cup for that as well.

I am going to use your idea for the 1" square tubing and rubber to isolate it and of course the idea for the fill and vent tubes... I LOVE that.

Probably build a few gusseted mounts and use the straps as well. Prob have to build my own straps though. More than likely I'll have to box in the recess for the vent and fill as well as the lift pump/sender.

I do have a question for you though Todd. Would you use the stock vent again as you did, or should I buy a roll-over valve and mount that?

Thanks much for the pic Todd, I really appreciate it.
