as you all no by now im trying to make my engine bay super smooth and empty like the resent success of bens nova turbo:thumb:

but unlike ben i do not have a bulkhead to hide everything in, im after some stainless tanks for the rad and washers but is there anywere i can try re-locate them out of the way completly, i no i could use a vectra washer bottle on inner arch with just the cap and neck in the bay.

any other ideas or nice shiny alternatives?

Demon Tweeks do bailey header tanks for £109, and breather tanks for £99.

Theyre polished ali, and look awesome.

Custom solutions also did a washer bottle in alloy, but think theyre no longer going.

i would rather buy 2nd hand but if not i would shell out $ for it

would like to try make the engine bay look symetrical either all in the middle or identical either side

thanks btw:thumb:

Get a custom rad with built in header tank like pugs

I'd rather spend £109 on the header tank, £130 on an Ali rad and leave the breathers untanked

I know you said you want it to look even, but the Bailey stuff it top quality.

Strut brace header tank ala VW, forget the breathers, washer tank hidden away behind the dash somewhere, could fit a washer bag/motor thing behind the glovebox/above the dash shelf.

In the boot like an Impreza intercooler spray bottle.

Get a custom tank made, that does the header tanking and a small % is sealed off and can be used for the washers.. Then you'll just have 2 caps on the top..
