Yes, one shape thru 73 and the deeper bottom mount tank for 74.
I ordered and received a new from BMW tank for my '73 CS. It is still in the box. If you need any measurements, just let me know. I believe it is the part number 16 11 1 110 672; 70 liter tank. This is actually the third one they sent me. The first two were dented/damaged and I sent them back for a better part.
How much was it?
First, I want to make sure you are sitting down. I had to sit down to type this as well. At this time, it is the most expensive single part I've purchased for the car (exceptions are the entire triple Weber side draft setup which is technically many parts, and the dipping to bare metal cost which is more of a labor or service). It was $1,300 (actually $1,291). It is pretty, though.
hmmm...$1300, that is about the price of a fill-up today, at least it feels that way.First, I want to make sure you are sitting down. I had to sit down to type this as well.

I may be interested in one of these tanks, I'm in the UK, how much would the shipping cost ?
Bear in mind that as well as the picture shown above, with the additional hole required for the suction device, there is also a ring mounted on the inside of the bottom of the tank which the suction device plugs into.

We are working on 2 tanks, one for the carburetors and the other for gasoline injection. I think today I upload photos
I have to make a wooden box and weigh it with the tank. so I will know weight and dimensions and be able to give a price.
Both '68-73 style, right?
No. It's 74-75.
I would need a 68-73 to use as a pattern..
Market for 74-75 tanks much smaller IMHO
Any updates on this project?
Next week I upload photos...
