The gas tank in my manx has been leaking over the last few years and JB weld tank repair has reached its limit. Time to have a new tank made. The old one is very thin and is cracking at most of the seams. It's beyond repairs. It's a custom tank with all kinds of slopes and angles, nothing off the shelf is gonna work.

Anyone know a fabricator in the San Diego area, preferably Santee or around there that can make a new tank? I used a guy from a shop off prospect but don't remember his shop name, maybe JB or J&B maybe?
I'd like to bring the old tank in and have an exact replacement made, just way thicker.

Thanks!
 
I have a buddy in Ramona that might be able to do it if Sausage can't. Send me a txt 858 692 7211
 
You may want to look ay having a bladder made for your new tank.
I used to have a manx and the fuel cell was mounted in the truck behind the rear seat. Summit Racing sold the same tank and then I dropped it off to Harmon Racing Cells for a bladder install so you dont have to worry about the welds blowing out and leaking again.
 
Thanks, Jessie worked on this tank before and recommended building a new one several years ago, couldn't remember his company name.

Good advice on the bladder, I will go that direction.
