Who sells/makes tnaks for the Worksman?

[dv8cam]

Hey Guys,

I am looking for who can make/sell me a cylindrical torpedo METAL tank like the Indian seen in this pciture to fit a standrd Newsboy frame or a 6" stretched newsboy frame.

I need it with the frame mounts, petcock bunghole, filler cap. I can provide these petcock bunghole, filler cap parts from the stock 50cc tank if you need them.

I would like pricing for unpainted but prepped (welds ground down) versus finished/painted in red.

With Worksman considering the Board Tracker loop Frames, this could be a nice little market for a crafty builder.

Thanks!

Yes, lets go with those dimensions as a starting point. Please price for metal tank, prepped for primer, but no paint. Thanks!

That is the same bike I am working on now but it is "Stock" meaning it has not been altered. I order to achieve the look and fit for the loop the two top bars are extended 3-6 inches. You would have to determine (measure) where the cuts were made and how much was added, then apply that to the stock foam.

I have been in correspondence with ACME Labs and they are in the process of fabbing me a tank. I made a foam mock tank that their working off of.

I'm also looking for a tank which will fit a stock newsboy Worksman. It would not have to absolutely conform to the space between the cross bars, but could also simply be a round cylinder similar but longer than the one in the thumbnail below. Something like this, but with either a longer filler cap or an angled one to keep the gas from spilling. The one in the photo is from an old lawn mower and is aluminum.

I hope this helps.....oh, by the way, you could always use this process to make cool expansion chambers too.
