Header Tank / Expansion Tank - Which is Best?
Barkalarr - 2/6/13 at 05:55 PM

I'm after a new expansion tank for the R1 powered Indy.
The highest point of the water system is about 3" from the underside of the bonnet.
There isn't an over amount of room at this height where I want to mount it.

What's going to be the best sensibly priced expansion tank ?

There's an "MK Indy" one on the bay ATM but its £25! I was thinking a little more Locost than that.

Anyone got one knocking about?

Fiesta ones seem popular with westfields etc

Rover 25 is neat and easy to mount. and quite a popular choice.

Note not the Rover 45 tank which is totally different.

Mine is ally and cost about $125 from Moroso. So that wasn't really locost either, but it works, which counts for something.

Will a VW one not do the job, they are pretty much the same on everything, Polo's, Golf's, Bora's, Passat etc apart from pipe layout, some have inlets on one side some the other so you should be able to pick one up cheap that will suit your requirements.

The second ad is just for a pressure cap.
