Sorry Clarkie, Ex? Nah, just nah.

Shorty.

Spelled with 2 ex wives.

PS is there a problem with black plastic radiator tanks? Got just the fix for that. The mini moke had a black painted copper expansion tank, just need to use a strip of tin to strap mount it some place convenient. Hell, I just realised my Landy is more modified than I first thought.

Good idea......but, the Moke ones are too small.

Early RR Classics had a [much larger than the Mokes] copper coolant overflow/reservoir also.

The black plastic ones were a solution to helping cure difficulties bleeding the cooling system [by having quite a few different connections at the bottom] and a decent capacity ......but then their tendency to split when aged manifested itself.

Anyway what WERE they thinking in making it opaque black plastic? The Japs and Europeans had been using translucent plastic for years!

Now AT LAST they've supplied the solution!
