Aluminum fuel tank.

I'm trying to find out how much the stock tank weighs to get an idea if there's something to gain (or lose, to be more correct) by installing a substitute.

I have 2 tanks here, brand new one, 16 lbs
and the original with the hoses, rubber around the cap and the unit on the side. 19 lbs

AC condensor?

Aluminum shifter arms (at transmission).

That'll be some 7075-T6 or better.

Speedway Motors sells 'em. They don't go into detail on the metallurgy, as far as I can see.

I've been kicking around doing the front bumper in aluminum. The shape isn't that complex. Just for kicks, anybody know the weight of the front bumper?

I weighed mine and I got 11 pounds

I was looking for the bumper weight again, and I noticed that I neglected to thank you for the information. My apologies, and thank you.

Seem to recall the "Battering Ram" and the Vacuum tube/support structure coming it at 50# or so. Could be an ALy tube.
Also Power Steering pump, brackets, and pulley.
A complete Serpentine kit for brackets maybe too.

Just weighed my Aerospace Calipers and pads -= 4.5# per corner!
