Nice im might have to try this

Looks good. Nice to see guys getting creative and useing what they have to make it work. One bit of advice, as I run the clunk tank also, you may want to turn the tank around so that the clunk is in the rear of the tank. Otherwise, when the fuel gets low and you accelerate hard, or wheelie, the clunk wont be getting fuel, or may suck air.

Back- yrs when the savage 1st came out and the mid tank was done. That is how we did it. We used ofna linkage kit and an Ofna tank. When it came to the diff we took the ofna 4 spyder gears and pins to build a better diff. Nice to look back.
