Has anyone noticed the Aluminium washer tank I made?

While tidying the engine bay up I thought moving the plastic washer bottle to a neater location would be nice.. and the fact that i'd just melted the standard bottle what with it fitting inches awa from the turbo!

So an ideal spot, in my mind was the scuttle panel. I'd seen the fiat cappuccino bottle fitted neatly up there so I went for one of those.. After a bit of searching I'd still not found one, so I figured I'd make one to suit

Now I've never done anything like this before. I set to it with cardbard templates, then more templates until happy. I've then bought he sheet Ally, cut and bent the tank in a little vice at home then had it welded up smile

The result:









I dont like to see fittings and wires on show if I can help it, so I designed that tank around hiding them away here:



And there you go smile You can buy replica tanks inc fitting kits on Nutz now (not from me)

What do you think?
