Concept Racing did this one for us from a drawing in about 10 days.
If it’s alloy it’s better to strap it down as mountings welded on may fracture over time.

Yes I was wondering that. Also, is it foam filled? Mine has to be taller to fit in the hole I created, but otherwise very similar.

Yes it’s foam filled. I think it was about £550 with the VDO sender and stainless steel straps. It has an outlet and return for the fuel injection.
It’s rectangular except for a taper at the bottom front edge to clear where the subframe starts rising.

Endaf, Owens fabrication, is a good shout as he has a Cox chassis in his workshop at the moment.

The workmanship and build quality from Concept racing is superb and they are not over priced - when it comes to safety cell tanks they know what they are doing - we call Bob "The Alloy Guru" his welding is excellent that's why F1 items can be in his workshop but he will never disclose who's they are !
