Re: My 57 Pro Street
Well I got the tank installed.
Made a cradle out of some angle iron. The pics pretty much tell the story. Kim |

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
A few more pics of it installed. I have some rubber strap that I cut protecting the tank.
I'm thinking about painting it. I've seen some powder coated that looked decent. Just have to plumb it all and do some finish welding and I should be able to paint my frame. 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.

I'm using a Walbro 255 LPH in-line pump. The guys in the LS section recommended it. Going to run a pre-filter then the pump then a filter/regulator off a 03 Vette. Kim |
