Is that your company that makes them?http://stores.ebay.co.uk/optimumbalanceproductsLtd/Alloy-Oil-Catch-Tanks-/_i.html?_fsub=1228378014
Makes a lot of this type of thing.
If you supplied what you wanted fitting in the tank and some detailed drawings I'm sure I could give you price.I have been trying to get these made. I had this one made by someone recommended here. Sadly he then went QRT on me after making this one. I have been to other companies locally who can make them, but not at an economical figure. They are 2mm alloy and have a baffle system to allow a Land Rover in tank pump to be fitted. The sender was meant to be in the side.

Demontweaks are virtually always insanely expensive. Going rate for generic/universal catch tanks is £20 - £70ish depending on size etc. Bespoke/made to measure obviously costs more than batch production and are worth whatever you can get for them... i do some very application specific ones that are mirror polished and retail at getting on for £200 but obviously a chunk of that is the retailers cut. The closest i get to a universal style is this (capscrews and the mesh filter cover not fitted)On Demontweaks they're anything from 45 to over a ton. I was thinking of buying one to convert into an oil tank for a bike project I have ongoing. My welding not being up to the mark yet!
Are they baffled inside or just empty can? I think that's still cheap hotrodder considering how neat they areDemontweaks are virtually always insanely expensive.

which start at ~£90 each for 2 inlets, 1 outlet/drain in an 'as welded' finish. More fittings and/or shiney, anodised etc puts the price up, choice of two different mounts is free as is (within reason) size
There's a labyrinth style air/oil separator inside them... basically they're a tube within a tube, the inner tube contains the labyrinth and is welded to an annular ring which is welded to top of the outer tube and then the cap bolts on to locate the filterAre they baffled inside or just empty can?
