Radiator Expansion Tank Problem

[davey301]

Where can I get an expansion tank for my Cobra build? Looked at a couple of places and they are over $300 new. Don't mind refurbishing one if I could find one.

Any ideas. keep trying ebay but never seem to find a decent one.

Wanted to make this a new thread but could not locate the new thread button.

Thanks!

Do you want the neck to be on the drivers side like the originals or passenger side like all unmodified expansion tanks? My limited experience with brass tanks isn't particularly good. A friend bought a brass tank from Cobra Restores and it leaked. Sent it back and the new one leaked. He finally bought a stainless steel tank and never looked back. The solution for me was to also buy a stainless tank from Southern Automotive. Not cheap. (410.00) but no leak.

I like the ones that are unmoodified.Having the filler on the drivers sde and the neck on the passenger side allows for clearance and a nice clean look/run for the main hose.
