I agree with JakeMate, I'm cringing at the hours of setup on your bridgeport.. Time for a CNC.. Fadall. Haas, Hermle, go for it.. Nice job though..

yes, it mounts in the spare well, but the cell was engineered by ATL to locate there. there is really no other place to mount it other than inside the passenger compartment, the trunk it separated by a firewall anyhow, and this cell is more puncture resistant than the OEM tank in the event of an impact.

OK, loan me some money

Congratulations to garidbaldi. Very skillfully done indeed. Is this a hobby or a career? Are you an engineer?
