I need tanks for this kart

I realize this will be difficult to find but I thought I would try it before I trash a perfectly good pair of Rupp chaparral side tanks. I bought this Lancer GTO from a friend and it needs tanks. I believe they are supposed to be steel. I will get the hole to hole measurements this week. Any help would be great or maybe someone could point me to someone.

As always any help will be greatly appreciated.
Email is rustymotors@yahoo.com

Thanks
Josh

hi josh,
do you have pix of the tanks.
if so post them as i have several pairs of enduro tanks that are orphans.
you might get lucky.
i'd sell them for a fair price if you could use them.

well Ugly is kinda mean but you have a point.

if you want to spend fifty dollars for a pair plus cover the shipping i'll sell you a set.

Josh, tanks also came on 1965 Rupp GPE's too, I traded mine to a friend for another kart. I can get you pics if that would help. Terry

2 radiator tank tops from a truck = ugly kart tank
What do you think a set is worth?
