The tank shop do some amazing work but the guy that owns it is even more temperamental than me and his lead times can be very long, so I would suggest you talk to Rich at TA Baker, not expensive and quality you will not beat.



E-mail: TABFuelTanks@Yahoo.co.uk

Telephone: (+44) 01974 821469

Opening Hours: 09:00 to 17:00 GMT

[Thuli]

No need for apologies Ali; I enjoyed your tales and also left with a headful of dreams/ wishful thinking. Have ordered the book already.

Contacted them, they said that sadly they do nothing for Monster and can't help.

Now I have 3 options.

1. Risk tank shop, wait a year to find out if it will happen.
2. Make custom one so expensive (exploring option)
3. Buy another steel one, weld around joints and paint.


For option 3 any one knows of a undamaged steel one for sale at good price? I only see damaged and slightly damaged one's on eBay.

¥162,000 is ONLY £1,100 so probably about £1600 by the time you've got it here and been stung for VAT and duty.
Bloody gorgeous though
