Anodizing runs roughly 100 for a tank of this size. Blue sounds like a nice color, we have done black before.; Sorry no pics..
The bungs on the tanks will be large female unless yall spec something different for your tanks. Large hole lots of flow no restrictions.

All tanks are cut and welding will be started shortly.
Bungs and due to arrive mid next week...
There are 2 bungs in each tank on the engine compartment side tank. One in the front one in the rear. There is a short divider in the middle of the tank to help slush and to slow the returing water from just circleing back into the suction fitting.
Thank you everyone who joined in on this GP. Might have to start doing more of these to help peoples save money.

Rick,
Would that anodizing hold up to harsh weather?
I was wondering if it got any salt spray would it(the anodizing) look nasty thereafter.
Do u send out your anodizing? Was thinkin something along lines of a bright blue( like the factory Arrival Blue).
I too was considering this for when I take my Radix out of the boxes.
Would u recommend going w/ a heater hose style-fitting or AN? My guess is w/ the heater hose style for Radix u could make more of a plug-n-play unit.

As far as the blue not sure, but my guys do not let me pick the shade of blue. LOL I know its blue and deeper blue, no where near light blue.Pipe thread gives you the most versatilty. AN your locked in. Now -10 is equal to 5/8 heater hose, for reference.
Let me know when you can, aluminum tanks are in and welding will being shortly.

The empty threaded hole in the second pic measures ~13/16 which is very close to the O.D. of a 1/2" NPT. KB designed the bracket holding it to be fastened with one of the fender support bolts and an existing stud on the fire wall. Looks terriable dosn't it? With the new tank I should be able to get to my window switch again and use it for something.
