v8s swirl pot and header tank stainless (inc neck) combo

[Top Gear TVR]

Has anyone started making these as a pair yet, or do i have to do the same old thing again as with the V6?

Yep Shaun made me the dual pot and I requested a sight glass in the side of the expansion tank.

Or do what I did with the Reserve's swirlpot and get some mounts welded on.

Although Shaun's combined set up on Samy is lovely.

A few different examples

How about the second one, but with 90 degree elbows for the joining tube so that it can run in a straight line?

Like this

Nearly. Put a 90 elbow on top of the swirl pot and angle both so the joining tube runs in a straight line. Does that make sense?

Do you mean coming off the filler neck ? The filler necks only come with straight soldered outlets

First filler neck (swirl) has to be connected to the bottom of the expansion so it extracts fluid on cooling if that's what you were thinking?

What kind of picture Joe?

Yes I know that. I'll draw a picture and post it up.

You're certainly getting the hang of that CAD package Joe.

I had the conversation about a 90 bend coming out of the filler neck when Shaun did my items.

Oh well, that's that idea scuppered. Unless maybe you could trim off the little "bulge" and solder an elbow over the outlet pipe?
