Twin swirl pot finally fitted !
Discussion
Last June Shaun made me up one of his stainless steel twin swirl pot set ups .
Well , finally got round to fitting it and all I can say is its lovely , some of the nicest welding and fabrication I've seen .
Not cheap but definitely worth it in my opinion , makes the original swirl pot look like junk.
No connection, just very happy .

Hi , as you look at the picture , the right hand tank is the swirl pot , with feeds to the pump / block etc , the left tank is the system overflow bottle , on the rear of the swirl pot neck is the feed to the overflow bottle which is fed to the bottom of the overflow bottle , the overflow bottle neck pipe ,red in the picture is the vent to the road .
As for the caps , MY swirl pot cap is a fill only cap , not pressurised , and the overflow cap is a 15 psi pressure cap .
I can't say what others are doing with the caps but this system has worked for me with no overheating even in heavy traffic.
Hope this kind of explains it .......clear as mud !!

Hi v8s4me, yes I'm very happy with the set up , regarding the caps , I'll keep them as they are as the system was working fine before I changed the bottles so don't see why it shouldn't now , it's pretty much a straight swap bar less hosing and location .
The bottles are attached to some nice thick stainless plate , over 1/4" thick , so I'm happy with the rigidity and it made fitting easier .
It also got rid of the manky old header bottle above the oil filter , so much easier access for that too , win-win.
