Fab'd up the remote fill and dip stick for the dry sump tank.

Attachment 69883
Started with adding a 1/2" NPT port for the dip stick and a -12AN for the fill to the top section of the tank.

Attachment 69884
Added this radius'd AL tube as an internal guide for the dip stick. Using Lokar Universal Locking dipstick.

Attachment 69885
Fab'd up this little remote filler box with a filler neck and a -12AN port.

Attachment 69886
The start of the sheet metal access ports. This one is for the dipstick.

Attachment 69887
Blended them into the upper portion of the fender. Still have plenty of clearance even when the hood is closed.

Attachment 69888
Here's the underside.

Are you going to weld the old fill port closed? I'll need to do something similar on my car and was thinking of welding it up.

Hi AJ. I don't think I will weld it closed. The cap is really tight so I don't think there is risk of it coming loose. Interested in your thoughts.

I was thinking more for an aesthetics aspect having something useless like it was just thrown together and not though about. Well, yours is hidden so that really wouldn't be the case for you. I think mine will be visible.

Agreed...just saw your latest pics and see what you're getting at, your's will be visible, I actually think it's going to look bitchen seeing the tank. I bet you can get either Peterson or Aviaid to build the tank without the filler neck. Not sure if you have the tank yet.

Deck lid support. Fab'd up this little bracket and used a support from Lift Supports Depot. Couldn't make one of the prefab'd ones from our normal go-to companies work because of the fiberglass lid... I did try.

Used nutserts to attach the bracket to the lid. I ended up with a 58 lb. support, though I don't have the spoiler on yet, it should still be stout enough.
