That tank is just a wood one i made for it. I have not found a 17" metal one yet!

Ah, okay. It looks really good. If you end up not being able to find an original toolbox, its actually not too difficult (relatively speaking) to make one of these from sheet metal, provided a person has either a spot welder or normal electric welder. It turns out that 20s toolbox tanks are comprised of just 5 pieces of sheetmetal. I hope to do a post here in the coming weeks about modifying a reproduction metal toolbox tank, to fit from a Schwinn B6 to an Elgin Motobike. Thanks!

I have been wanting to make a metal one. I bought some metal and everything. Just no time or a spot welder
