Citation FV fuel cell

[BLS]

Now that the new shop is built I finally have room to work on the car again. The original fuel cell is toast, has cracks, will need a replacement.

If you have a good used one let me know.

Any sources with the Citation design such that I don't have to draw it up? The 4 gallon ATL will not fit as the rear is narrower than the front and narrower than the ATL wedge cell. Plus, I need the maximum amount of room available in the cockpit and have made a few adjustments to maximize the space.

Thanks!

Can you post a picture of your cell? Most companies do each one special.

we may have a source to do a multiple run, but they need to be identical to keep the price reasonable.

we are looking at the “winged verion”

Did you try contacting Steve Lathrop? He's a big guy and I was under the impression that he could fit in all the Citation cars he designed.

I've had some email questions answered years ago by the "master". Unfortunately, I'm not the best size for FV at 6'4. But I managed to eek out enough space to drive the car back when I rebuilt it. I then stretched it as the Citation was designed to the minimum wheelbase rather than the max, go figure. That was my downfall though, many mods, and then the car sat due to lack of space and not enough time. Anyway, I'll get it finished this year and enjoy some quality track time

Mine is the winged version. I believe it is a Lathrop design. I'd certainly be interested in participating in a "group" buy.

A couple pics I took earlier today with a ruler for some measurements:

Harmon Racing Cells in Corona, CA builds custom cells at a reasonable cost. He built a nice custom one for me at a very reasonable cost and lead time.

Dan, thanks. I actually did a quote from Harmon for my own design for my own design car, but have never had one made since I never built the car It was a reasonable price for a somewhat complicated cell.

I believe Steve Lathrop out of Indy has the drawings for the Citation fuel cells and possibly can supply them
to you? He's on Apex so reach out to him if necessary.

I had to have one made by Pyrotect going through Fred Clark for my Citation; due to the same issue of the frame rails getting narrower. It's a wedge without wings. I'd be happy to send you pictures and the Pyrotect part number assigned to it if you're interested. Feel free to send me a PM.

Hi Mark,
Sorry for the late reply. I've been in contact with Steve and just waiting for him to return to his shop. Thanks!
