Alpiners,

On the early alpine (SI and SII), there were 2 type coolant expansion tanks fitted.

One used a simple cap, and a removable pressure relief. The other used a normal relief cap only.

The one with the simple cap can use a normal pressure relief cap, but has nowhere to relieve the coolant to.

No for the question. Which ones are fitted to which years or models?

Since there is a difference in the diameter of the coolant hoses, which one belongs on a series II, and what inner diameter hoses go along with it?

AND....

Does anybody have a spare tank that doesnt have the added pressure relief valve?

My car has the other one, and its life is about up.
