Velocity Header Tank?
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.

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

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.

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.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
