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

Re: Top Tank

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!

Re: Top Tank

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?

Re: Top Tank

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