Ally 748 Coolant Tank Help

Discussion in 'Ducati General Discussion' started by Skidmark66, Sep 19, 2017.

  1. Would anyone have a spare knocking about I could borrow please.
    A friend of mine who owns a sheet metal shop said he would look into making me one. If it turned out to be viable then he would make up a load if the demand was there and I would sell them to forum members.
    Mark.
     
  2. I may be interested in one if this comes to fruition!
     
  3. I'll 'ave one.
     
  4. Are you after an ally one, or a plastic one?
     
  5. An ally please.
     
  6. If he can copy an ally one, he should be able to do a copy from plastic.

    Should be easier to locate a placcy one.
     
  7. For sure and to be honest that's probably what we will end up doing just thought it would be nice to have an ally one to get a few measurements from.
    I have my old plastic one laying around somewhere.
     
  8. I have one with a hole in it,but ideal for a pattern,do what you like with it,I won't be needing it back.

  9. If its an ally one great thanks. If you want it back repaired I should be able to do that if you like.
     
  10. I started with a cardboard mock up.

    Then cut some ally. DSC_0019.JPG
    Taped it all together for a test fit. DSC_0022.JPG
    Then welded it together. DSC_0026.JPG
    It's on the bike now, I do intend a couple of changes to the next one when I retire and have a bit more time.

  11. I could be wrong, due to old age.
    I am sure I saw a little side-line for sale on t'net, offering templates and some cut pieces to make the ally tanks.
     
  12. Sorry it's plastic,but your welcome to it anyway.
     
  13. My crappy placcy one has split and was going to swap for another crappy placcy one over the winter.
     
  14. Any progress? :bucktooth:
     
  15. Yes. My track bike will be getting some work done to it over winter so when that all takes place I shall take out the plastic one and press ahead.
     
  16. Will your chap be making some to sell?
     
  17. If its viable yes.
