savage bulldogs Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I've been pricing up some custom ally bits for my v1 at a local fabrication firm and after getting him to repair my forge header tank , he said he could make something of similar quality for about £100 .(forge ones are about £180 to £200 ) I know the v1 / v2 is different from the v3 / v4 but does anybody know if any other versions use the v3 /v4 ally header tank with the steel top? (As he could make a few of these too) would anyone else be interested in one if he made some ? If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 I would be interested mate, mine needs replacing for something nicer but begrudge paying through the nose for a forge one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lev1982 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Same. Forge ones are lovely. But just too expensive. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 Yeah I was lucky enough to find a second hand forge header tank with a bit of damage to the bottom outlet pipe for £35 . So its gonna cost a tenner to weld a new outlet on it plus a bit of elbow grease to get it shiny again . I've had a bit of input into the new design and added a different top mounting bracket. So we can use a couple of plastic spacers to lessen heat soak from hot coolant onto the inlet manifold where the header tank mounts . I won't have a prototype for a month or so .I'll start with the v1 & v2 phase 1 as I can run this on mine and put it through its paces before anyone else buys one . Just thought it could save us a few quid and smarten up our bays by replacing the fugly oe tanks without having to sell any of our kids to fund it [emoji4] If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
