juki75 Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Hi! As everybody knows that header tanks rust so I'm about to do new header tank of stainless steel (acid resistance) I will do 2 or 3 of them so if you are interested, please let me know. I don't know exact price yet. All you have to do is take the water sensors from the old one and put them on the new one.

Vulcan Grey Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 yep, mine were badly rusted, so I replaced them with new ones from Lotus (£55 in the sale). Quote Travis Vulcan Grey 89SE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juki75 Posted March 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Yes, the second one is almost ready as well. Quote Jukka Angerpuro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulcan Grey Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Well I did receive a quote for a new aluminum one at ~$700, the Lotus one was only £55 on sale, and the original lasted 20+ years. So it'll be good enough in my dry climate. Quote Travis Vulcan Grey 89SE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olin Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Where did you source the tank for £55? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bibs Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 from Lotus (£55 in the sale). Lotus often have aftersales 'sales' where they sell off old parts cheap. Travis purchased his tank in one of those sales.

MrDangerUS Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Travis, Do you still have your old rusty piece? I need something as a template to make a new one. Kind Regards Quote MrDangerUS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulcan Grey Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 I do have my old one , I could make a CAD drawing, when i get back from Mexico. Quote Travis Vulcan Grey 89SE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDangerUS Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Would you consider selling it? Quote MrDangerUS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olin Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 I found a restoration shop that is trying to rework the old one. If they are not able, I will have your template. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
