[s-cars] Aftermarket coolant tank (was Re: S6 items - vendor?)

[LL - NY]

I'd have to agree. I ended up with an aftermarket tank from
Rapid Parts (quickest source when I lived near them) and
although perfectly servicable, it just didn't have the same
feeling of quality, AND I had to modify the mount to clear
things in the engine bay (it was a no big deal file job, but
nonetheless, I had to do it). Wasn't a big $ savings either,
but at least I was able to get it on a Saturday.
