I agree nice solution.

Thanks! Definitely a lot to cram into this area. Next up is building the filler neck for the tank. Also working on fab'ing a dipstick into the tank. And then porting both of those over to access holes in the fender. And the drain. And keeping all of that fairly well protected from something coming off the tire. I did put a single layer of Kevlar in the fiberglass inner fender lay-up but I'm looking at adding another layer as the tank, fittings and lines are ending up much closer to the inner than I originally designed.

Very well done, nice build!

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


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.


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


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


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


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


Here's the underside.

Nicely done!

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.
