Had been doing my research and decided the asked amount for a spare tire mounted gas can assembly was unreasonably priced. Decided to fabricate my own holder, with a few modifications to both add strength and ease removal over the models I have seen.

Started out with some 16 guage squeare tubing and some creative cutting.

Cage welded and cross braces tacked in place. Perfect fit for a 5 gallon Blitz metal gas can.

Finished product before polishing welds and paint application.

Final finished product, minus installed strap and turnbuckle to hold can down.

Updated with pictures of the turnbuckle and can in palce

That is way cool. I wish at times I could do something like that. Even be able to make something out of metal would be nice. Good Job. You going to make a bunch and sell them?

The best way to learn how to weld is.......to weld. Get a small MIG welder and have at it.

Can you give me a link to a small Mig welder? See, I wouldn't know what a small, med, large welder would be

And what stock can I weld with a 'small' Mig welder

Thanks in advance

This will weld up to 1/8" with no problems and runs off of 110V outlet.

I was thinking about it, but the amount of care and detail I put into the things I fabricate it would not be cost effective, as I could not sell it for the amount of time I put into it. Plus, I like the idea of having mods all over my car I know no one else has... selfish much???

My first welder was a cheap couple hundred dollar model I picked up at home depot. Runs .30 or .25 flux cored wire, very ****ty to weld with, but it will get the job done. Step up to a gas MIG welder, and you will be very happy.

Well done!! :cheers: :cheers:

Awesome Job! I also wish I could weld. Last time I welded anything was in high school and the final results looked like an incredibly large pile of bird $hit.

Couldn't you patent the design and sell it to a mfger/reseller like MAF, DeMello, etc. and let them produce and distribute it for a reasonable fee?
