Very blingy bit of gear and possibly the nicest TIG welding I've ever seen! Maybe I should pretty up the rest of the engine bay. Seen them online overseas, but I grabbed mine from Anthony at Coffs Harbour 4WD, he does a fair bit of LR stuff and is pretty clued up on them. He imports the Allisport stuff and the Flexi Flares. Infact, tomorrow is chop time! Will be fitting the flares!

Oops, I didn't even realise I hadn't put the price down. Coffs Harbour 4WD Centre sells them for $260. He imports alot of their gear too, including the intercooler upgrades and silicone hoses.

stupid question time... doesn't having a bullet proof header tank just move the weak link elsewhere in the cooling system? unless of course the cap is the weak point? I know they had a reputation for splitting the original tanks, but surely that is better than splitting a radiator tank?

I guess you're talking about having high pressure in your cooling system. I can't imagine you'd ever really see it higher than 15psi and as far as I can imagine, the original tanks would probably split more due to the fact that they're two pieces of plastic welded together and are constantly heated and cooled.

my 2 cents.
