Yes you could
I did is basically like your mate has but used a thicker piece of alumium then polished it all.
I also made a bit of a jig to try and stop it from moving when welding.
Cool, I believe that was the problem he had when welding it but then it was his 1st go with the alloy tigset.
Looks good though mate !
Was looking into getting it anodized but not sure about the silicone content of the cover?
Ben was having all his tanks anodised but they wouldn't chance it due to that so he had them powder coated instead.
I'd imagine with a lot of messing around you could make the 16xe one look great but the problem is, as you pointed out trying to keep the thing from warping with the heat.
Well finally a bit of a update.
New brakes are fitted, custom exhaust is finished, wiring and a few other bits done, just the shafts, cam cover and a few minor bits to finish so with any luck it will be finished by the end of this month and mapped shortly after.
