Forum rules
Not many rules really, this board being aimed at technical issues, it shouldn't fall foul (hopefully) of some of the more personal issues that can affect forums.

Rule 1 - Is that you need to think very carefully before posting anything technical or asking anything technical relating to the security system of the car - See 'Security Issues' sticky for more info.

Rule 2 - We (MGF Register) do not support copyright infringement and therefore references to CD ROM, PDF versions or paper copies of the workshop manual (for instance) should not be posted on the forum. We don't want to get into trouble and we'd rather sell you a genuine hard copy through our Regalia shop anyway! :)

Because advice is honestly and freely given in this technical section, much of it will be amateur experienced based, so any information is given in good faith and is not guaranteed as correct.

Behind (i.e. next to the windscreen washer bottle) and surrounding the spare wheel well there is a fair amount of unused space Allan. If you are thinking of using multiple small canister tanks, then this could be ideal. :thumbsu:

That's what I was thinking Rob..

The washer bottle will probably be moved/changed and air tank sit in that huge space there..

I can get a custom air tank made by Concept Racing easy enough

Would a tank in each corner work?

Yes numerous tanks linked together would work.. rather than one huge tank.. Volume is what matters

IIRC the internal difference is the pressure of the nitrogen gas, which to my knowledge is lower on a Trophy, thus allowing for less movement of the diaphragm and providing a stiffer ride. Obviously I couldn’t check this. :lol:
