Top Tank
 
Murphys Law operating.
A couple of weeks ago I sold my parts car to make room for a new toy.
Warrant due this week on SVX 95.
Mech noticed split in top radiator tank (good job he was on the ball)
$360 to have one top tank custom made!
Anyone got a radiator? or alloy top tank?
regards
Don:)

Radiator ordered 12/12.
Delivered 19/12
Total cost NZ$231.66
The local radiator bloke was absolutely dumfounded.
And amazingly it could have been cheaper!

Is the radiator you installed a Silla Radiator? Mine split a few months ago.

Re: Top Tank
 
Don't get too worried. The one which split is the original radiator and not a Silla.
Did you buy new hoses and if so from whom?

Bought my silicon hoses from Dayle at motorsport warehouse

Re: Top Tank
 
Yes, a Silla.
Use the link (see Blacky's post) below.
Didn't need hoses.
