who sells them? so far I have looked at:

Bailey
Promotasport

any others? both those are silly money (£115) and only a few £ off for trade. and the promotasport doesnt even come with a new cap for the coolant bottle.

Would their be real demand for these if I made some? I know a few decent engineers etc, might even do some for Evos (under cutting cost of others!).

If there was enough interest then I can probably ask around.

to cut/weld and polish them all manually would take too long for us, dont have the time really.

ProAlloy, which again, will be expensive, but better than any you've mentioned so far.

no, it will take up too much time to do them. plus I would look to sell them at about £80 each. labour charges are £40 an hour for normal work at Vsport so after the cost of materials I would only be able to spend 1 hour on making each tank to make it worthwhile. it will take longer than 1 hour per tank.

is there not somewhere local who could manufacture x amount for you at so much per unit and then you add the vsport brand and sell on at a slight profit to yourself?
