WTB: Brass or plastic coolant expansion tank

[Thomas76]

Hello all,
Weighing my options before purchasing from walloth nesch..
Does anyone have an old style brass tank or maybe a slightly used plastic one?
I'm in Michigan so ideally purchasing in US.
Thanks!

I have a plastic tank Thomas. I will take some pictures tomorrow if you are interested. It is a used one that I picked up from Paul Cain some time back with some other parts.

If that falls thru, I will be your backup. Have my original plastic from my 73.

Thanks guys. My tank is showing cracks but does not leak, meaning I don't want to take the risk anymore.
Any pics that convince me yours is a good one would be appreciated!

I do have some brass tanks, of unknown state, but they are located in the Netherlands.

I can get them desoldered, cleaned, resoldered and painted black too if you want.

I would say brass is the way to go, especially Dutch crafted...

brass is the way to go, but a new plastic one is available from BMW - 125 bucks from getbmwparts.com
