Special order through Venoxy https://venoxy.com/ . Let them know what you want and they will get back to you with a mock up . Once you are happy with what you see it takes about 2 weeks from the time you place the order . I first saw them on this post here https://www.zpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1730660 which is worth a read before fitting them and there is a you tube video by E91 Kiter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbj2tSZvzI0&t=752s. :thumbsup:

Well, after giving 19 years service my original expansion tank developed a hairline crack that opened up when hot which led to this :

All back together now with a new Meyle tank, cap and a Febi level sensor.
I shouldn't have needed to remove the fan/shroud assembly but I couldn't get the tank free from the plastic housing it sits on.
A quick run out and all seems well.

Triple threat at Zandvoort yesterday. Ceremonially gave the barriers at turn 12 a wave as I headed back to the main straight for a straight-six blast, grinning ear to ear :driving:

M.O.T passed but with an advisory for "Suspension arm ball joint has slight play Nearside Front Lower" guess that it will eventually need this https://www.autodoc.co.uk/febi-bilstein/1877552
