on ebay i have found a 2Lt alloy surge tank, 5m of braided lines and heaps of fittings for $400 delivered... is this a good price? i need one for my drop tank

The tank itself should cost 100-150 i'd say (although I only got a 500mL one) the fittings seem to be the most expensive part. I just run rubber hose onto the ends with hose clamps - doesn't look anywhere near as good though.

I got one from here for $80 (a couple of years ago)

I paid $280 for a custom tank. The fitting were ridiculas though.
Is this for your ute?

yeah for the ute mate, i have a 50Lt alloy drop tank and need surge tank and all the fittings and fuel line to reach the motor. there is heaps of surge tanks on ebay and the like reasonably cheap but then buying all the other stuff is going to be costly so i was wondering would $400 be an unreasonable price for 2Lt surge tank, all fittings and 5m of braided line?

that looks sweet Gav i like it.

you could have built in a surge pot / pickup into your drop tank when it was built and saved yourself all this extra expense and grief

i bought the drop tank 2nd hand so i have no choice but to go down this path and the expense i saved with the drop tank and buying this stuff is still cheaper then having a drop tank made up, im not lucky enough to be in the industry to make one myself.

it seems like a good price to me, the braid would cost more than half of it. I wonder about to quality.

yes that is also on my mind... it advertises the kit for supras so im guessing it would have to be some kind of decent quality... but then it is ebay and they can be dodgy crunts.
