Tank you in advance

Thanks Bruce.
A lot of steel fab places are willing to make one up if I provide them with a CAD file. I'm good but not THAT good.

The Long Ranger got a call from me. They didn't know the model car, obviously didn't make one and without the car or a CAD, weren't interested either.

Thanks anyway Bruce.

Geez Fab, those guys must be the young tech head variety if they can't make one without a cad drawing. These blokes would be stuffed without a computer. It must be a fairly big operation if they need cad drawings.

See if there are any other small sheeties in your area, there must be some one who can read a simple drawing.
If it is a fairly straight forward shape draw up a rough drawing and put some measurements on it and try another mob. They can't all be that tech minded.

The local bloke I use abused my brother one time and told him his drawings are too complicated for him to understand. The brother gets carried away sometimes.LOL.

Cheers, Bruce.

I know its Victoria bit "brown davis" make a range of long rang tanks , maybe they have something off the shelf for you

Have you tried "Opposite Lock" in Adelaide

Bruce, they are ALL "young tech-heads" out there these days!

I think the CAD file is so the robot can make it. We don't have many tradesmen much at all now who can actually make something.

The days of making a cardboard template or plastic bag of expanding foam is way out of their league.

I'm hearing you Allan, I hear you.
Probably more so because we are classed as dinosaurs I suppose. LOL

As my older brother used to say " my computer resembles a pencil, doesn't require power to run and never needs rebooting unless I press too hard on the led. LOL

Cheers, Bruce.

A few years back I wanted a extra fuel tank custom made to fit in the tub of my ute, so it could be removed when not needed.
Our local sheet metal fabricators that do a lot of high end marine work would not do it because of compliance issues.
As it was a 1 off it had to be destruction tested to be certified to carry fuel in a vehicle.
So we put $25.00 plastic Gerry cans in the back and we were on our way.
Seems over the top but it's what happened.

Hello and thanks to all the above.
I tried Brown Davis...definitely no off the shelf units and the volume (1 off) didn't warrant the effort from them.
I tried Opposite Lock.... they're pretty good but could help me with this one.
You've got to believe me that by the time I post on here, it's because I've spent 2 weeks on the phone and many late nights on Google.
A guy at work suggested a place Zagari Engineering that is pretty close to me too. I went there this afternoon and the guy took some pics, some quick measurements and did a rough sketch. He was going to draft (yes draft not CAD) one up for me to look at.
These guys do a lot of custom stuff for the race and street roder crowd and carry a ADR complience cert. A bit pricier than I would have liked based on a rough quote, but he was genuienly interested in doing the job not just the $$$. That's good enough for me. Quality comes at a cost and these guys have a huge reputation.

Thanks John and Regina.... as above response. I found a mob that can ADR certify the modification.
I also work in the industry so that's by far the least of my worries.
Thanks... a good reminder to those not in the know.
Fab.

Sorry I didn't explain fully. Certification is required on mountings, fuel lines as well. Basically the whole installation.

Good luck.

Thanks Patrol ...... I'll do it right now.
Fab.
