Bit like a header tank on central heating I guess? somewhere to hold a "stock" of coolant, air to rise out and a fill point.

Are there any pictures of a Shaun-pot available for those of us remote from the UK S community?
There are at least four, available to anyone anywhere, on this thread.... scroll up a bit!

The ones shown are a combined unit incorporating the expansion tank ( the white plastic tank ) the Swirl pot is the one on the left and Shaun can supply that on its own.

I have a Shaun pot for Samy and have no issues with it. On the Reserve however, I am refurbing Samy's old pot and adding a bracket to take the plastic 'header'. I had considered getting an alloy header - like on the later models - as they are relatively cheap - imho. Decided against it as although not a huge amount, it is still extra money.

Cost of blasting old swirlpot, adding bracket, respraying in satin Hammerite and some stainless bolts - £50.

pictures not not showing up on my browser. Must be the over-zealous smut filter on my companies system. Probably a hint to get off PH and get on with some work!
