    Default Aluminum Tank Restoration

    I am looking for someone who can restore a cooper aluminum dry sump tank. It has dents to be fixed and I would like to add a access panel for cleaning. Does anyone have a aluminum wizard they can recommend?

    Thanks, Dave

    Default tank

    If it were me, I'd keep the origonal tank, origonal. Put it on a shelf and have a new tank made.

    Also, the aluminum gets very old and brittle. It is impregnated with oil which can be a problem in welding.

    I'd make up a nice new tank. By the time they try to fix clean and modify the origonal, you paid for the time they could have made a nice new one.

    I sent a foam mock-up of my tank to Moroso and drawings, and they sent one back to me. Not a Cooper.
