Pace system/Caterham tank

[k80rum]

I'm pondering the options available to dry-sump a K-series and wondered if it's feasible to have the best of both worlds:

 

A Pace kit (with the cost and scavenging benefits it brings)

A Caterham bell-housing tank

 

Assuming I had acquired a Caterham dry-sump bellhousing tank with it's conning tower, is it likely to be possible to marry it to the Pace system?

 

Just a thought, and no doubt a daft one.. 🙆🏻

I'm sure it would be fairly trivial to hook it up into the bell tank instead of a separate one, with perhaps a few custom hoses from a hydraulics supplier. Thing is, many people see the bell tank as having numerous disadvantages and are thus happy to go for a separate tank.

Also, the Pace setup has twin pipes running to the tank, Caterham belltank has only one. I've been trying to source a Caterham belltank for months with no success - I have the rest of the Caterham setup but need the tank - so unless you already have a tank go for the complete Pace setup. I'm verging on ordering the Pace (aka Brice) tank which is a very good piece of kit - more capacity than the belltank, and much shorter oil line runs.
