Default Fitting alloy header to an older scoob.

Hi Guys. To all those who have fitted the newer alloy header tank to an older scooby how did you do it?
What hoses and how was the tank orientated? A pic would be great.
Thank you and a Merry Christmas.
Cheers. Mark.

If the hole centres are the same and I think they are, it will be a straight swap. WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING?

the holes are in different position plus the hoses are different/ I had to fabricate a small alloy plate and drill it to suit/you will also need to visit a scrapyard and pickup longer pipes take care to get the same diameter of pipes though.

I had an alloy bracket made up and fixed the header tank that way. As for the hoses, you will need slightly longer ones. I 'borrowed' some fuel line hose (brand new) from work and cut them to size.

I don't know how to post pics.

Thank you guys. It was more the hose issue that was worrying me. A trip to the scrapies I think.
Sorry Harvey. Didn't mean to shout. Eyesights not what it used to be
Cheers. Mark.
