Kevin,
A VERY good read on riveted tanks is done by Robert S. Hoover
http://bobhooversblog.blogspot.com
Title is AV-Yo! Fuel Tank! dated Wed.Dec 6, 2006 and Finger Strainers
Sun, June 24,2007
If you haven't been there before be prepared to spend a couple of hours.
Bob has been flying behind VW's for approaching 50 yrs and has forgotten
more about Vw engines than just about anybody doing them today. He
UNDERSTANDS them and teaches you how to build a PROPER engine and the WHYS
that go along with the HOW.
He's also building a 701 but progress has slowed due to serious health
issues.
Hopefully he still monitors this list .
There is a downside to messing with ProSeal and it's cousins, the stuff is
tenacious and will obliterate your fingerprints for a couple months,
wear gloves, I HATE working with it but it WORKS and makes riveted tanks
practical.
LO&SLO John

I'd heard that about ProSeal too. I was able to get any off my hands and
arms by scrubbing with sctockbright pads and Fast Orange (pumice hand
cleaner). I used A LOT of rubber gloves. It smells pretty nasty so use
lots of ventilation. Once it sets up, the smell goes away. I made my tank
in stages over several days as the stuff sets up pretty quickly and needs
about a day before you can move it.
Oh, also handy to have a small scale with a resolution of less than 0.1
ounce so you can measure out the mixture. I made 1 or 2 ounces at a time.
I did my tanks with a pint kit of ProSeal. I had just a little left over.
Curt

BTW, if anyone wants more pictures of the tanks, then let me know and I will
email them to you.

Thanks for the link John, I have been to Bobs, but I didn't run into anything about riveted tanks. Guess I'll have to sit and read, there is a lot of info there to sort through.
Thanks
