They are Metmachex, Metal Machining Experts... They make bespoke stuff, just as sillyb's new supplier will be making, however Metmachex already have a tank design that can be modded.

I'm on your side, Nick, it's just that I can't see it happening.

Got one on my X1 and it holds more oil. I suspect the ally might conduct the heat away better than plastic.


1-10 W/mK for typical plastic as opposed to 50-100 for alloy. That's my Saturday research over :)

If someone's going to do this, it would be nice to see if the oil connections can be on the same side as the oil pump.
