You'd think that would be available off the shelf wouldn't you The expansion bottle certainly is but not the "swirl pot" with the brass cap. I can only suggest you ring round the breakers or look into a suitable alternative. I'm not sure if there is a reason for the Tamora and T350 having both, my distant memory suggests it was an upgrade in response to an issue of running without an expansion bottle but I'm not sure. If it doesn't do anything special and is just an intermediate reservoir, can it be replaced or even omitted with pipe work?

Ditto the mount for the expansion bottle; might be easier to fabricate one if no-one is doing them commercially? Bit of steel (aluminium?), couple of bends, some protective paintwork?

I am aware that this reply is no help at all, but at least I looked!

thanks anthony !

my tam is a mid 2004 but this "modification" swirlpot & expansion was not fitted ..

i have always on hot weather problems with topping up fluid, even with all new thermostat 82°, new coolingfluid, bleeded system, ecu and dash ecu sensors and watertank-cap.
i already got the expansion-tank, the brass screw and o-ring but NO swirlpot as at tvr parts ltd. not in stock in reality ;-(

i'm also sure that the mounting bracket at least can be done by someone, because i have "two left hands"..
