We are running into a volume and space problem. Still thinking on this one. It is not as easy as we first thought.

I was at the Miller Motorsports Museum on Tuesday and one of the Comp 427's has a tank (painted plastic bottle) mounted in about the same place as the Jamo Special (on the top of the triangular cross member, passenger side). A billet tank with a tube mount (and a slot for the brake line) might be a good compromise.

We are thinking about that location right now. It looks like the only place it is going to fit.

How about the passenger fenderwell over the exhaust? Still somewhat visible but out of the way.

It's a little hot there, a long way from the radiator tank, and not too visible...but that may be where it ends up!

David,

I just wanted to say thanks - got my surge tank today and it is a work of art.
This way I'll have something Kirkham on my non-Kirkham car in Hawaii to tide me over until I visit Texas where my Kirkham resides.
