Oneof these?



That's Harvey Gibb's version, requires some further mod's to fit also. It's the absolute dog's danglies, but can work out fairly expensive for most people.

Yep, it's such a shame it's all hidden away once engine is all built up.

IIRC, Mike said on an old post that it was approx £1000 including all the pipes, fittings etc, which I think may be aeroquip due to the fittings on the tank. That *may* be a fitted price including a couple of other mod's. It's obviously a bit less agro when rebuilding a complete engine...... so may work out cheaper if that's your case.

Tank is around £350 - again, if my memory serves me....

Best bet is to phone Harvey, as I could be way off. Possibly overkill unless going silly power, but I guess a lot of his race engine customers like belt and braces.
