I seem to be having trouble finding new air tanks to replace the outboard "torpedo" tanks above the drive wheels on my 05. Does anybody know of a source for replacements. I may be interested in polished stainless steel (at least till they price them to me) but I need to find a stock size for a reasonable price I am sure. I have Googled and Googled to no luck for the small diameter and long lengths. Any input here would be a great help as I need to get the brackets fabed up soon. Thanks guys

Re: Air tanks
Steve, I got the stock tanks from Trailer Parts Super Store I know it sounds strange but their web http://www.easternmarine.com they are a large air brake supplier hope this helps I'll check on a number for you 1-800-453-7379 I checked on one of the boxes and the manufacture is Valvac if this helps
I found Velvac number maybe they sell direct or have a dealer in your area 1-800-783-8871
