I got a few tanks done and sent out: demoniam is next, then nbdooey then you. My ship is pulling back out for a few weeks. We may pull back in earlier, we may not... it's never what they say it is. I've got a few more tanks tacked together but I won't have time to finish them unfortunately until I get back. The good news is once I get back it should only be a couple days before your tank is done along with the guys in front of you.

Sorry, I will not take anyone's money until their tank is ready to ship. Especially since my work keeps me from home. It's one thing to take forever to build a tank but when you have people's money and they don't have thenough product that they paid for... that's when things get out of hand..

Off topic but I figured that I would share my excuse for these taking so long

Hopefully, she'll survive 'idling' in place of the Burke FLT IIIs.

Hahaha that was just a picture I had from when they were pulling back into port a few months ago. I was off ship for an appointment and I was waiting for them to pull back in and took a pic. That being said, we don't exactly have the best track record... hahahah

To those wanting a NA coolant tank, I thought I readdressed this in the thread but I realize it was only in PM's. There is no room to put a sight tube anywhere on the NA coolant tank if all the OEM equipment is still there. It is a tight fit as is. If you really think your particular setup can accommodate a sight tube, I'd be happy to send out the fittings and a lengh of tube for a DIY install with the tank. However, NA coolant tanks will NOT come with a sight tube installed. If this changes anyone's mind about ordering let me know.

Also, no further names will be put on the list at this time. four_wheel_drifts and xcoldricex I will have to verify I have enough materials to support your requests. I can't make any promises until I get caught up with all the other current tanks. I'll PM you two directly whether I can or can't and let you know. I want to leave some wiggle room incase one gets messed up while making it.

Here's my tank that I'm using as a coolant over flow. Powder coated wrinkle blank and tapped it with a -3an fitting. Great piece however mine doesn't sit under the fender it doesn't reach so once filled with fluid if the two bolts don't hold it up in going to use some kind of rubbed in the cowl to keep it from hitting metal on metal.

I didnt take measurements, sorry. I lined up the cowl cover with the overflow tank installed and used a witness mark where the cap touched the cowl cover. Used a hole saw about a 1/4" bigger than the witness mark.

*Cowl located washer tank holds approximately 32oz of fluid, utilizes YOUR factory washer pump and grommet. Mounting hardware and instructions included. Fits NA's and NB's (factory passenger side mounted tanks require extension of wiring to work)


*Coolant reservoir utilizes factory NB mounting location. Sorry this tank will not fit NA's.


I'll make either tank for $125 shipped CONUS or $225 shipped CONUS if you want one of each. PM me if interested, Thanks

Edit: Tanks will be made to order.
will the windshield washer resovoir fit in a 1990 mazda miata 1.6
