Has anybody got any suggestions on what header tank to use for the cooling system on the Velocity XT, off what car? or a supplier of one?

Cheers

I have used one from a westfield I think it was originally from an XR2.

Why dont you use a sierra one but basically any one with 2 outlets will do.

reno 21 turbo has a nice header tank

Try the one from the Rover 200 (new shape). Nice symetrical shape, dead easy to mount......

This one Geoff ?

No, the one I used was a much rounder shape, and was originally mounted against a vertical bulkhead, the one shown in your photo looks like it was probably fitted over an inner wing panel. Will post a photo in my archive shortly - if I can remember how to do it....

Photo now in archive.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

I like the look of the Rover 200 one Geoff cheers for the pic

I used one from a Golf GTi Mk4, but they were used in Polo's from 95, Golfs from 93, and passats from 92

Wow! thats nice did you fabricate that yourself or buy it? if so where from and how much if you don't mind me asking

Look if I could make that ... I would be floggin them like hot cakes!

Its very nice polished Stainless.

I wish I could just weld that good!

I got it off Ebay, I can dig out the contact / Email address if you want. I dont know if it was a one off, as I have not seen one like it since.
Drop me a U2U if you want.. No probs..

It came from the scrappy, marked Rover 200/400. It was a bit dirty but hot water and vinegar, let it stand for awhile, added a table spoon of brown rice and gave it a damn good shaking, cleaned it up a treat. Left the support long to make it the high point in the system.

Alifab are quite good for custom tanks and stuff. Made my Viento petrol tank for me to my design for £90 and it's a top job.

Shouldn't this be in the "curry for breakfast" thread in anything else.

Mark,

Just looked at your website (briefly cos it's late and I wanna sleep).

I can't justify the expense at the moment, but could you give a little more detail on the bike carbs to Rover V8 manifolds you're doing and what setting up is involved. U2U if you prefer.

Thanks very much

ATB

Simon
