Bailey Header/Coolant Tank

Postby Jimmykey on Fri Sep 06, 2013 11:46 pm

Hi

Is there any advantage of having a Bailey aluminium header tank? I have one fitted (was on the car when I bought it) but I prefer the standard one where you can see the min/max levels.

Cheers

i believe it's mostly cosmetic and also doesn't detoriate as fast as the plastic one.If you are ok with the plastic one that changes color from the heat and pressure after some years,I see no reason why you can't replace the bailey one.

Nice.To be honest,I also prefer the factory one,I don't say that bailey is not ok,but i prefer to know where the level is at a glance.Also you can't see bubbles in the bailey,if something is not right.Not something that you wish,i know...
