    Hi folks,

    In the past I know some peeps/companies have sole these, either w/ the black top, clearn top, or no top at all.

    Who is currrently selling them and what is the quality like?

    Same guy as the throttle cable. Frank. They are beautiful. The only problem I had with mine is the top didn't seal as well as the stocker. I used some clear silicone sealer on mine.

    Just looked on his website. Didn't see them. Maybe he doesn't sell them anymore.

    I understand it would take 1000 units ( x $159.00=159K) sold to do another production run.. How many do you need ? :Dou:

    Hi folks,

    The Parts Place sells them; I will check CARS.

    Too bad, I would have rather given my money to Frank but at least they are available.

    Hello Ranger,

    As mentioned, The Parts Place advertises that they have them (including on eBay), but every time we checked, they don't actually have them. They will be happy to take your money, but you will later be notified that they are on backorder and that they will have them "in two weeks" but they've been saying than now for several months. If they are waiting on Frank to make more, it's going to be a lot longer than two weeks because Frank says they are all gone and he doesn't plan to make more due to the huge minimum quantity he has to make. Maybe The Parts Place plans to make some themselves, I'm not sure, but they continue to say "in a few weeks."

    I've been trying to find a couple for about a month on this board with no luck.

    We've checked with EVERYONE that we can think of (Then & Now, CARS, Parts Place, etc) and everyone is sold out. So the supply of Frank-tanks appears to have run dry. Bummer since I need a few of them for projects.

    If you have luck finding some, let us know.

    They got them from Frank. No one else has made them. With some luck, maybe The Parts Place is waiting for a run of their own to get finished, since Frank will not be making another run.
