Fury header tank, which one ?

Dear forum members,

I am looking far an expansion tank for the Fury. ( OEM type/plastic, not alu )

Max available height incl. cap = 150mm
Max depth = 150mm
Width is not that important. As the tank will be mounted beside my pedal box ( RHD ) the connections for the coolant hose ( top & bottom ) should be on the left side as much as possible ( or right side when sitting in the car )
If the tank is not that high I could get away with a bottom connection too and one connection somewhere near the top
of the tank.

Have been searching the web but so far did not find anything suitable.

Good question Jos,

I would be very interested in the information here as I am in position of designing my cooling system.

Look at the Rover 25 tank ( The Rover 45 tank is an entirely different shape from the 25 tank)

That is quick !
Unfortunately both tanks seem to have the hose connections on the wrong side.
They need to be ond the right hand side when sitting in the car.

They are... you just sit on the wrong side of the car

Its abit hard to visualise what your after really, as you know where its going and what size will fit in best, Maybe just search ebay for "header tank" and they'll be plenty come up all shapes, sizes and outlets even if you don't buy from there you'll find out what car a suitable one is fitted to.

Don't forget they can all be spun through 180degrees as you will probably have to make a bracket to hold them anyway as alot of the manufactures brackets are welded to the chassis.

I fitted a VW 'ball' to my Fury. Fits perfectly on the bulkhead/shelf with bonnet clearance, and easy to mount.

The VW globe/ball type are availabe fom EuroCarParts for about £12 if you can fit one in. Total height is <200mm. The bottom entry comes out horizontally, the cap is prettylow profile and they come complete with a low level sensor built in.
