Does anyone know the spec and measurements for an alloy drop tank for my 87 VL.
Would to get one made through a certified fabricator.
But I need the plans and measurements for them

I made up one out of ply and made it fit perfectly and then gave it to a fabricator but that was for the fj Ute, it holds 100 litres.

Just as a matter of interest Rare Spares have new tanks for about $1100 but they would be standard size and plated. May be you could have one altered ??

Do you want the 100+litre capacity or just want the look of a drop tank ?
