    Aluminum Coolant Tank

    I know one was just sold a few weeks ago.
    But figured I see if anyone else has one laying around.
    If I have to I'll get one of the stainless ones from a vendor.
    Also has anyone been able to find a plastic alternative that would doesn't look totally out of place?
    Just curious.
    Thanks,

    Just putting these where they would be helpful.

    it won't look 100% original but it works, quite a few uk owners have gone down this route, the part only cost £25/$35 over here, got to be worth it for the peice of mind it offers

    How will you attach that to the wall? Band strap? Looks like a Bill Robertson idea. $139 gets you a real SS bottle that will last as long as the car, never change colors, probably never crack or leak, looks like it belongs there, and mounts correctly.

    I am not sure how the alternatives have been attached...
    I'm currently attempting to fix the original coolant bottle with fiberglass.
