This looks like it is made or sold by a place called "Tanks". I just installed one on my car and it worked great. Everything was in the correct location. It is very well built. I bought mine directly from the Tanks Company.

I got mine done in Fort Worth Tx. last month for $333.00. Works great.

I bought and installed a Stainless Tank from Tanks about a mounth ago. I got the Stainless straps also but used my old ones since they were in good shape and the Stainless Straps were going to require a lot of modification. I had a new exhaust ran all the way from the manifold to the back in larger diameter pipe than original. It is a close fit by the Tank but that is the way the old one fit, I haven't had any problems yet. I bought the sending unit from Roberts but the Gauge is not working yet. I think I have a short in the Ignition Switch or in the wire to the Tank.

The holes are only slighty larger than the diameter of the hoses. I drilled both holes just above the right side shock so that they come into the front right corner of the trunk. I ran the line from the left shock up over the arched frame brace to the right side of the car then up through the floor beside the other one. The hole was already in the upper part of the Brace for the Spare Tire and was just the right size for the valve to bolt into. The shock instrustions state that you should run at least 25 psi in them. When I first aired mine up this raised the car up quite a bit but after sitting a few days they seemed to get broke in and settle down.

I put some Monroe shocks on my P-15 Coupe last week. I ran both of the lines through small holes in the front floor of the trunk above the right side shock then mounted the valve in the Brace for the Spare Tire. There was already an existing hole in the upper part of the Brace. It looks good, is easy to get to and nobody can mess with it.

I am looking for a disk Brake Conversion that will work with original style steel wheels. I am using some old 16" Ford Wheels that has a little more clearance inside than the Plymouth Wheels that came on the car. I have 12.5 inches of clearance measured across the inside of the wheel where it sets on the hub. The Guy at ECI told me I need 13.25 inches for his Kit. This seems like a lot. I measured every vehicle I have and none of them were near this big. The People at Plydo didn't know how much room I need for their Kit. If anyone could tell me the diameter of their Kit including the Rotor it will be a big help.

I am about to get my p-15 back on the road. It does not have an Oil Filter. I guess that these came from the Factory this way. Is it alright to run it this way or should I find a Filter Housing for it?

I got both of the Bumpers on my Coupe straightened and Chromed in Dallas for about $450.00 with a lifetime warranty about 2 years ago.

I like the White Walls. I have them on my Coupe with rings and Baby Moon Hubcaps.

Now I am thinking that I will stick with the original 2 piece style. How hard are these Windshields to change? I think that I have read somewhere on this site that the Windshield is removed from inside the Car? A local glass shop quoted me a price of $150.00 per side installed or I can get them for about $40.00 each and install myself.

I put 3" lowering Blocks on my Coupe. Then put air shocks on to adjust the ride and to maintain the correct height if I carry a lot of weight in the trunk.

I am about to replace the glass in my P-15 Coupe. I am considering eliminating the vent Windows on my doors and converting to one piece Door Windows. Has anyone done this? If so how good did it work? Thanks

I need to replace both sides of my windshield. Has anyone tried one of the one piece Windshields that are made for P-15's. I have seen them at swap meets for $650.00. Now there is a guy that has them on E-Bay for $340 + shipping. I haven't seen any of these any of these on a Car and would like to know how well they fit before spending this much money. I also need to replace the Driver and passenger side glass.
