Hey raptor boy,

Have you seen the ( so cal fab shop) they have a bad a$$ one. Also Ripper Racing has one. The so cal fab one is a bit more expensive but there in backorder I've been wanting one for 2 weeks already I should have one by the end of this week.

Look in the Dirt Wheels mag. They are always full of replacment oil tanks for raptors. Most of the aftermarket ones are aluminum.

Go here and then go to raptor and there are 2 different ones avaiable for the raptor. Both are aluminum but I think one is oversized and one is stock size.

Hope this helps

Not sure if anyone steered you there, but CFMracing.com has some pics of their products. Larger volume, beautiful welding.

yeah they ship they do have a web site but it's underconstruction. I'll post up a pick as soon as I receive it. I am purchasing a oil tank and a heat exchanger. hehehehehe[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I did, in another thread. Didn't know they had their own website. Yes, the welds are very sweet.
