Anybody have any ideas on where I might find a good used oil sump for a C-65?

I just saw this on Barnstormers.com:

I hope you can find what you need.

Thanks Mike, I think I saw that too, but missed the oil tank part. I'll check it out. Thanks.

Do you have an oil tank? Is it cracked around the flange and the neck of the stamping? That is very common with that oil tank.

The material around the neck and flange is thin because of the stamping process. If you have access to someone that can weld thin to thick material, have it repaired.

Charles,

Yeah, it is cracked around the flange and a little bit down the side of the tank. I did have it repaired, an engine builder friend of mine brazed it. But I am worried that it will eventually fail again, so I was looking for a spare tank to have around. We will see how it holds up I guess, it was cracked once before and somebody had brazed it to fix it, but I have no idea how long ago that was done.

Hi,
