building clutch fluid reservoir - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

My brothers a welder and im thinking of having him build me a 1qt tank for the clutch fluid. Should i use Aluminum or stainless steel? where can i get the cap? everything will be welded. No threaded nipple for the line. I want it welded so im not depending on rubber for it not to leak. i would need the filler to be able to be welded on and the nipple. If im going to be using Castrol SRF im not wasting a $65 qt jug on replacing the a oz every 3000 miles or how ever many miles befor its dirty.

I would love to buy one of those! If you or your brother are interested I'm a buyer. As for the cap. I would assume you would have to find a suitable metal tank to cut the neck off of and reweld it to your new tank. What tank you could use is beyond me. Sorry I dont have any real input for you, but would love to see the final product.

For 63 bucks, I'd go that route in a second. LOL hard part is over, now time to get your brother to start welding!

Problems with the cap? all you need is the neck, right? I am sure you could find another cap if that's the issue your speaking of.
