Made a little more progress last night on the gas tank housing, so I thought I would share a few photos!
I welded some pieces of angle to the inner tub to bolt the tank housing to.
Another pic of the angle supports.
This is the housing I decided to fab up to bolt to the angle supports.
Another pic of the housing, it is built out of 11 gauge flat steel.
I set it in place after I finished all the welds to see how it was gonna fit.
Another shot from the other side.
I spent a fair amount of time pondering where i wanted to put the filler neck, and decided to locate it at the very back of the housing. I am a little concerned that the back of the back seat (once installed again) will interfere with the pump handle when trying to fill it up, so I am going to make the seat so that it will hinge at the front so I can easily flip it up when I am filling with gas.
Still getting familiar with the new mig (so keep you comments on my welds to yourself
), but it sure is nice to be able to
when I want to.
