Ghetto tank mod
I took a 6 inch section of 1" OD pipe and JB welded it to my tank, right behind the lip. I did over 10 layers of jb, pretty much used up the whole tubes. It works great :YEAH I was gonna bondo it smooth, but I might not even bother. There are no sharp edges to catch anything on, and I uses a small piece of surf board stomp pad, more for padding than for grip.

Re: Ghetto tank mod
prolly feels really good and works great... just dont completely rely on it to hold you on the tank cause if that JB lets good it could be bad news!!!

the jb is on alot of surface area on the pipe and the tank, and theres alot of it in between, about an inch worth of contact patch.

This is my prototype 1. The next one will have a smaller dent and the pipe will be welded on.

Re: Ghetto tank mod
horribly ugly.. no pics on this comp.. but the best way is to soak a towel in fiberglass resin, lay it in place, then lay sheets of fiberglass over it.. form it... let it dry, bondo.. and wa lah.. looks factory.. damn wish i had the pic to show

Re: Ghetto tank mod
Used it alot tonight, makes tank coasters ALOT easier. I can move around on the tank now without putting alot of weight on my arms, and I dont slide off.

I know its ugly but I dont have another tank to use if I send this one to my painter. If anybody wants to lend me one for a couple weeks pm me.
