Hi all
Wanting to get a water tank made to fit the under the back seat of my Defender 130.
Anyone know of an aluminium fabricator who has the gear to make these in Brisbane?

I'm not in Brissie sorry but I would be asking why aluminium. Do you intend to drink this water, if you do then I would seriously recommend you do not get it made out of aluminium. Go stainless, if you cannot afford that then look at a generic poly one of some description. Ally water tanks can get pretty foul and I would not drink out of one.

Ageed...alloy would be a mistake. Sorry didn;t do enough research before posting.
Will try to get a stainless steel tank made.

hey andrew,
mate i know a top shelf s/s fab guy. i have used them for years for custom work for my landscaping jobs, they have always been able to do anything i've asked, big or small. he also builds his own ally plate boats so i'm sure he'd be able to build a schmick tank and pressure test it, etc.
talk to andrew (the owner) at concept stainless steel 3890 8840, they're located under the southern side of the gateway , not to far from you.
give him a call and see how you go...
sam
tell him sam from archiscape sent you.

or if you want poly, try industrial plastics at colmslie/morningside, i've had them build me a few water tanks in the past, not as cheap as they used to be though.

call chris at abber tanks.
0406 936 755
he makes custom poly tanks for drinking water, does a really good job and not as expensive as you might think.
I think he's based a little north of brisbane
