GTO oil tank

(1/3) > >>

lockhart:
Have two oil tanks off two restored Go's which are cracked in the same position. Have tried various glues but nothing will stick once oil is replaced in the tanks. Any suggestions on how I can make a repair.

Hi lockhart.... a while back I asked the same question about a cracked tank I had and several proposals were put forth. I ended up selling the tank "as is" and never tried any repairs.

I've posted the link to that thread below.... you might see something there that you'd want to try out.

              As a relatively new GTO owner, I'd be interested to know where the tanks have cracked.  Photo?

    After a lifetime of repairing things, kid's toys etc, the only reliable method of joining these soft plastics is heat welding which is not easy.   You could try a local car repair shop, see if they have a specialist plastic welder. It's amazing what some of these guys can repair these days.

lockhart:
Thanks for the info guys. Tried the glue mentioned but no joy. Both tanks are cracked at the bottom of the rear mounting point. Photo show both tanks with cracks at the same point. Is this a know area  for damage
