davidbradley Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 HiRecently bought the car, but feel that the underbonnet is let down by the remote header tank currently fitted.It's about 6 inches across & 3 deep, and fitted by some rough plates to the rocker cover. It's rusty & just 'orrible to look atPhotos I've seen seem to have the set up with the Radiator cap on top of, & part of, the radiator.Is mine an original set up?, and if so are there any better looking tanks - or is a new radiator an as-cheap option?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heraldcoupe Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 If you have an early(ish) Vitesse 6, then yes, it is original. Any other Herald or Vitesse and it's not original,Cheers,Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herald948 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Early Spitfire header tanks are very similar to the above Vitesse 6 tank. Meanwhile, if yours is "rusty," it's definitely NOT original, as the originals were brass, AFAIK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
