    16 gallon underseat tanks

    Hey all - does anyone know where I can get a pair of the 16 gallon underseat tanks from these days? I know FWD motors used to do them but they're long gone. Prefer somewhere in Vic and/or somewhere they've made them before so there's no mucking about with measurements and so on.

    Cheers,

    Adam

    Four Wheel Drives used to get them made and are still around. Problem is that they have recently changed hands yet again so not sure if they still have the contacts.
    Give them a try, if you don't have any luck I have a number for someone who used to work there. It can only be a 'local' sheet metal company, just need to find who they are.......

    just as an update, it looks like Four Wheel Drives (Four Wheel Drives – Land Rover Spare Parts Specialists) can supply them from a local (Melb) manufacturer. I'm still chasing and waiting for confirmation - I'll post the details once I have them, in case others are looking in the future.

    Cheers,

    OK, so Four Wheel Drives (Four Wheel Drives – Land Rover Spare Parts Specialists) guys got back to me and they can get the tanks made here in Melbourne. Their version is welded mild steel plate and cost $550 per tank. I have another option now thanks to a forum member, so I wont need to get brand new ones made, but this thread might be handy for someone in the future.

    Cheers,

    Adam
