Just to let everyone know .... EB Spares have just taken a small delivery of header tanks for the GTV V6.
They are expecting another larger consignment towards the end of February. the tanks are new but supplied without the cap which they can supply additionally if required. I've just got my order in so if you want one, speak to Jason or Kevin at EB Spares. .... :thumbup:

I'll second that!
I've scoured the interweb world wide and there's no new ones to be had anywhere, these have been commissioned from the far east I think. Anyways I let you know about the quality when mine arrives ( Friday I think ).

I'm in, although just spoke to Kevin and the first "test" consignment seems to be sold out. The 600 units they have arriving at the end of Feb will be slightly cheaper at £68.

One for me here in South Africa too. I'll be putting my order in first thing on Monday along with a V6 inlet flexi pipe.

£68!! I think I'd rather take my tank off and stick in in the dishwasher ??

 

[Unclejam]

Dishwasher

I think that would go down even worse with the Wife!

Unfortunately. . . This does not work!
I have tried!
Don't tell the wife! ! !
I tried everything . . . I couldn't get it back to its original condition!
Had one off ebay for £30 ish! ! !

All fitted and clean again .....

 

[Griff of gwent]

I did try and clean mine yesterday but it's got a sort of baffled design so you can't really get inside it properly! Mine isn't too dirty though I might put up with it for now

Looks great, of course I know that Yorkshire mechanics are the best in the world (Scarborough man myself!) but was it a pain to fit?

 

[Mr_Caine]

Is this specific to the V6? Looks the same as my twinny? Not that I actually want a new one just wondering?

 

[Henrik_45]

The Header tank is the same for Ph1/Ph2/Ph3 versions og Spider/GTV.
Original p/n is 60583517

 

[alexGS]

Yes and just to be clear, same for both TS and V6, I have interchanged them.

I bought a genuine one recently, came in an Alfa Romeo box... local stock in Cambridge, NZ, alfaparts.co.nz

Before fitting one, it's always a good idea to have a few top-quality hoseclamps on hand (the main one underneath being heater hose size). The original hoseclamp is likely not to be reusable, though the small one on top is.

Thanks for confirming, my one is in good order so have no need to buy a new one but for those tha do this is a good, albeit slightly expensive option (if not the only option here in the UK for new)
