Hello every one ! Would my peel replica build be welcome on RUMcars ?

Looks like a petrol tank to me !

I got the castor angle wrong to start with so I changed that today , should help with the wobbly wheels at 20mph

Petrol tank

Hi Steve. You must be getting near completion now. Good idea to use tube to make a tank, it means less seams to weld although I think I would have silver soldered the ends and the collar. With a snug fitting disc recessed into either end it is easy to get the solder to flow around the joint. Still, I know you like to weld. Looking forward to seeing the finished article next year maybe at jeans open day?

Hello Bob how you been ? I Didn't even think of silver soldering as never tryed it before , i can see how it would of been a better idea though , it seems for the first time that I can see the end of the project , it should be there with its own number plate  , But soon as it's done I will bring it round yours so you can have a drive

[Bob Purton]

Ooooo! I look forward to that. I can show you the Bobette whilst your here. Keep going!

Fuel sender ? I've got this sender does any one know how they work , as in is it just an earth wire that goes to the sender then Earth the tank ?

[Peel replica, Steve Fisk]

Fuel gauge reads back to front but it works

[Bob Purton]

Is it for a negative or positive earth vehicle? What happens when you swap the terminals around?

[Peel replica, Steve Fisk]

It's a neg earth , I tryed swaping the wires around but didn't make any difference , I will just bend the float up the other way

Try turning your tank upside down!

I think I would have silver soldered the ends and the collar. With a snug fitting disc recessed into either end it is easy to get the solder to flow around the joint.

Indeed, I have had poor luck welding tanks, and have ended up soldering over welds that proved to be porous.
That means that the body work and filler that I had to use/ perform on the tank due to heat induced distortions was a lot of time wasted, as I could have avoided this fate by soldering at the get go.
Have you let your tank sit for a day filled with water yet to test for leaks?

[Peel replica, Steve Fisk]

I will pressure test it like you would with a flat tire , there's so many different ways to do something , the welds all went well so far , The hardest bit is fitting the sender unit that I'm doing at the mo , that might distort
