Expansion tank

[nebljusi]

Further to Chris Dow's header tank question in March, I will re-iterate the original question (as mine has got a hole in it)
Does anybody know which vehicle donated the expansion(catch) tank used on a Roadster with the Chevette/Viva rad? Mine has a Ford part number. 79FB-8K089-AA 1787E. This should provide the last link in the chain that will stop me from depositing the contents of my radiator over the (delightful) roads of North Wales!

Re: Expansion tank

Lee,
Thanks for the offer. Is the Marina one a pressurised tank, with the pressure cap on that tank, not the radiator neck?
I need to improve my system as it is VERY difficult to get to the pressure cap under the nose cowl. I'll phone you to arrange delivery & financial compensation. Thanks, Pete
