no problem Norman, do you need to know the postage on a stainless tank or will you just send a blank cheque

I'm such a sucker for shiney stuff...if only I wasn't planning a wedding!

Any chance you could post roughly how much would the postage would be?

I've already wangled a load of car cleaning gear from the wedding fund, maybe I could persuade SWMBO this is wedding related too hehe

i bought 1 a year or so ago mine did not have 1 on got a bit of stainless polished it up and welded to the back .then changed the route of the hose as early ones had the hose out the back
and not the side, they look good , think they are worth the money

I think your Reasoning is the same as mine.(I Could be wrong).My Windscreen Wash bottle is located in the boot. The Expansion Bottle is on the Nearside Bulk Head.It would be an improvement to move the Expansion Tank to the Swirl Pot ,making room for the Wash Bottle on the Bulk Head. wink

Hang on, Hang on, Hang on !!!! I have been involved with TVR,s now for over 45 years and I have never seen 2 the same.A couple of years ago I had 3 V8 s,s and they were all different, 2 variations on the fuel tankk and 3 on the swirl pots, none of which would have prevented a "standard" tank or swirlpot being fitted by anyone with 2 brain cells. If I had to make a seperate jig for every variation the price s would be "bespoke".These tanks will fit 99% of the cars but if you need customisation please send existing part as pattern and I will modify at time and materials rate.

On the Griffith/Chimaera question, anything is possible if I can get the VW cap fitting in stainless or brass. I will investigate when I get time. sTeVeR

ps off to Classic Le Mans tomorrow morning till monday night so please be patient if you email or phone. Allez les Granturas
