| Hi Mike, 1. FWIW, my '76 Convert had over 40k hard miles on it when I bought it and according to the original owner still had the light flywheel. My buddy bought a '76 with 13k easy miles on it and his fractured around the crank bolts at about 20k miles. 2. Dale Peterson (sp?) used the left toolbox to make the fluid reservoir on his Eldovert (or is it Converado?). Welded all the holes and lid shut, then added a filler (from the stock Convert tank) and inlet/outlet fittings. If you're worried about capacity, you could add an inch or two of metal between the lid and back of the toolbox. Dale wasn't experiencing any problems last I spoke with him. He's using an automotive drag-racing electric fuel pump to circulate the fluid, regulated to 30 psi if I remember correctly. Of course, he has plenty of electrical capacity to run everything with the Geo Metro alternator. And those LeMans IV forks and brakes are sure to make a difference in the handing and braking...
