Can anyone recommend a donor vehicle I can get a nice, neat header tank from which will mount nicely on the bulk head of the scuttle.

Cheers in Advance.

I think the rover 200 is a pretty good one, from memory its cylindrical in shape with two right angle brackets .

I bought a VW/Audi/Seat spherical one. Looks nice and dirt cheap (£0.01 +£2 p+p) off fleabay.
