Using the Tyga seat unit, means you have to lose the oil tank. Not really an option for me personally. I’m pre mixing my Tdr. I know all about the pro’s to it. So I needed to fit an oil tank somewhere. I have gone Gamma ‘ ish. Fixed an oil tank to the underneath of the fuel tank. The tube was welded into the tank to allow a void for the oil tank filler pipe to pass through

Love that solution on the tank A lot of people would just go with premix for ease, but I love that you have engineered a proper fix for an autolube system. Looks trick too Dusty

It was a bit scary cutting two big holes in a perfectly good tank. Ideally need to do a pressure test on it. Rig up a manometer some how.

Looking forward to getting this one done. If I enjoy this one as much as I do my Gamma. I could be letting a couple go. I have an itch for a JCW Mini.
