    yep..that works. Is the RSV tank made out of welded sheet-steel (instead of cast aluminum like the OEM bird tank) ?

    Why not just embed the photos with [img] [/img] tags instead of making people click a link?

    I'd be tempted to remount that on some kind of flexible rubber bobbins - I know from experience that the top bracket on the steel tank can fracture, leak and maybe even come off. It's a bitch to weld back too - oily, thin material etc.
