Garfinkles Motor Works is on a distinguished road
I made my tank for the 3rd gen out of sheet metal brazed together with a large fine threaded bolt for the cap .It is vented through the cap .The thing is shaped to fit the space and holds over three qts. I have made acouple out of 4 inch exhaust tubing and mounted them where the air pump mounts .I used the first gen oilfiller tube and plastic cap for the filling port .

Prodigy will become famous soon enough
With Brazing, (I have never done it) but is it similar to oxyacetylene welding by chance, where you have the two pieces, and join them by the filler rod...?

Its something I might have to look into for the future.... hmmmm
