fire

I'm kicking around some ideas for a fuel tank from a 5 pound fire extinguisher. Maybe it could hang from a 'fin' that follows the curve of the top tube (first pic) or just from tabs on the top tube. I think I'll weld a cap on the top fitting and then drill and tap for my fuel outlet fitting...

I guess I am the neighborhood restoration expert. Restore a few minibikes and people think you know what you're doing. A neighbor gave me this fire box to restore for his wife. What a great piece. He is 75 years old and works for the city. Someone threw this in the trash. Anyway, I have had it...
