Default fuel tanks group buy

I've been toying with this idea for about 8 months and I've now got the means to do it. Would any body be interested in a 0.8-1mm mild steel fuel tank fitted with a new sierra sender unit with a one way non return vent , fully leak tested to fit either the book rear tub or the SSC GRP one? The sierra unit feeds and returns from the top and should be just plug and play if using the sierra clocks. All tanks will be bent to shape in one piece with 2 baffles with a 45-50mm fill hole and every part will be TIG welded.
If there is enough interest I'll do two sizes ie short run and longer range in both book size and GRP. Price will depend on orders but should be around £70-90.
Please don't start the ali Vs steel debate we all know the pros and cons of both either you are interested or you are not , I can do ali tanks they will be £300 each.
There will be no minium order with this as every thing will be done in house although the more orders there are the cheaper they will become.

Sounds like a good idea Phil, there's a lot of people struggle in locating fuel tanks for the roadster and to fit them with the sender is a helpful move.

All the Best......Andrew
