Hello all. I'm looking to replace the breather tank assembly (tank+pipework) on my 3000M.
I see my early version used this plastic bottle approach as shown. I'd like to modify it to use a later version that I have seen on some peoples Taimars , where the tank sits on the opposite (drivers side) inner wing and appears to be metallic.
Would anyone be able to offer advice as to where I might find such a breather tank please? All help most gratefully received.

Many thanks Adrian.
If I understand you correctly, are you saying that I require two holes and pipe attachments at the top of tower?
Mine currently looks like this, where the small pipe atachment goes to the plastic tank...

Yes one pipe will go to the top of the radiator the other will go to the expansion tank. You will also need to replace the cap on the swirl tower to one that only seals the very top not the inner neck.

Ah ha! I understand, many thanks. I have found a few more engine bay shots online that show the two attachements to the neck region of the tower too. :-)
Where I can obtain an original (looking) breather tank from please?
