Hey guys,

Always browsing this forum, but never really posting in it. I am in the middle of my 1971 Honda N600 EFI project and have decided to make and mount a custom aluminum tank in the trunk area instead of under the car. Long story short, I am installing a rear sway bar that will be mounted to the frame rails right where the stock tank goes, and I can get at least 2 more gallons of capacity if I utilize the otherwise useless trunk.

Does anybody know of a decent aluminum welding place that could simply put together the tank pieces once I have them waterjet cut? I'd prefer some place out by me in Northern California (SF Bay Area), but anywhere will do, I guess. It is not at all a complicated tank-- a semi-trapezoidal profile with a filler cap on the top, a tube-type sender in the middle, and a few inlet/outlet/breather fittings.

Thanks for any help, in advance. For reference, this is where I'm at with the project:



...building the motor this week and welding together the custom front struts that will allow me to use Koni Yellows. Will need that tank shortly to get it running!

 

That thing is sweet!
Should be somebody close to you that can weld the tank. And make it look good.

 

FYI, fuel cell has a safety bladder so it won't leak in the event of an accident and a failure of the metal tank itself.
Regards

Yeah, I know. I'm not building this to be a race car. I don't want to try and find an appropriate bladder. Stock style will work for me, I think! Thanks.
