Re: My 57 Pro Street
Picked up these nuts and welded them into the frame to hold the cradle.
Also made some hold downs out of 1" strap and 3/8x16 couplers. Drilled out part of the threads on the couplers and inserted some 3/8 rod. Ended up removing the piece of 1x1 I had in the middle for another piece of angle iron at the front. Kim |

Re: My 57 Pro Street
Kim, Love the fab and install of the tank. If you ever have to remove tank, will you have to remove floor?.....Jim

Re: My 57 Pro Street
fab work looks great kim
looks like your running an exterior fuel pump from the lines coming out of the bottom sump. i have a no-limit tank with internal pump, i've had to drop the tank twice to service the pump in 2 yrs. i've heard external pumps are noisy, if i have to pull mine one more time; i will find out how noisy. i'd rather have a pump that works than a quite pump. i recommend against the internal pumps anymore.

Thanks.
It's a bit pricey but does the job. In wish the finish was a little tougher though. Thanks. Kim |

Re: My 57 Pro Street
Yeah you have to be so careful with the wrenches, I didn't have a return line so it was a simpler system, I put electricians tape on a cresent wrench to soften the impact.
