I think that's a good idea and am surprised none of the vendors have--or maybe they did and it's like the pistons, unless you have a commitment to sell or buy 1000, the cost is prohibitive. Like the body panels, dies are probably way expensive.

I do think with all the tanks made and shown on several sites, one could be found that would work with minimal changes. It's just that mfgs don't publish many specs and you almost have to lay them side by side to see the differences and possibilities.

If that could be done, even a mfg could be contacted and say use die such and such only leave this part off or drill a hole there type thing. He might be willing to modify a dozen or so or a vendor could stock them and do the mods. A dozen would probably last a while.
