Not Ranked
FE Header tanks....
Need to make a decision on a header tank shortly.
I reckon the choices are
New Stainless tank
New Epoxy-covered black brass tank
Kirkham ali tank
Second hand tank (from ebay etc)
Last one I'm discarding due to lots of stories of leaks.
I like the Kirkham's mechanical design, but for my taste, its a little too box-like compared to the pressed brass OEM item.
The stainless types arent cheap, and i beleive stand a little taller than the brass ones.
I like the look of the original black brass tank, so would a brand new item be prone to leaking?
My application is fast road use, maybe 1-2 track days per year. Otherwise reasonably gentle driving with son on the co-pilot's seat.
Your thoughts?
Kevin
