my cheap mid-tank build

[mosaics12]

so heres my mid-tank build using a stock tvps, radio box and I'm using a D8 tank.. feel free to comment

removed the thottle/brake servo location and keeping d steering in place.. d back was cut to have a clearance for fuel line

and heres what it looks when d tank was installed

so then there is a big hole on d bottom and risk of debris hittin d tank.. i made a patch using a piece of metal from photo frame 🙂 no more hole and photo frame 🙂

installed in the truck

just waiting for some parts to come and she will be finished

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.
