Whitehouse K17 mods...

So Barry , you tanked that idea ?

Very good!! But the idea needed no help from me... it tanked itself!

I'm still in contact with the manufacturer so we may be able to work something out.

Ask the tank guy if he could work from a 3D CAD model? The photo below looks like an aluminium intake manifold, but is actually a 3D render from a CAD model.

Having the original tank or my White House tank 3D scanned is not that difficult or expensive and will cost nothing to "post" the model across continents. It all comes down to whether the guy has the facility (or someone nearby) to transfer the 3D model into a solid model from which he could work from.

I've hit an impasse...

After supplying the tank-maker with dimensions and photos, actually sending my tank is proving problematic. Firstly, the cost of posting the tank is almost prohibitive, but the real killer is insurance should the tank get damaged or 'lost'. The tank costs about £2,500 (nearly $3,00) to replace and insurance to reflect that, plus the courier charge equals "no-go".

Back to square one.

You should only insure it for £500 as this is more than the cost of a replacement used tank from most vendors on eBay.
There are a few for sale stateside for $300-$350 or so which when landed would not cost more than £500 all in (shipping + VAT).
