Thank you that I've seen, but 200 + vat + high shipping is too expensive. :shock:

The original header tanks are all steel. Anyone who has an aluminium tank will have got it from Lotusbits and it is likely to be a one-time replacement for a rusted out original tank.

Good luck with your search, but I think you'll find more hens' teeth and unicorn droppings.

Okay, then I have to spend the money if it is the only new part, or I will build myself a tank made ​​of aluminum.
Which covers fit there?
Is there an alternative cover for the cooling water tank?
