Default Sierra Cosworth 3 door Header tank woes....

Hi All,

New to the forum as I just received my car here in the states.

I've ordered the below header tank from Burton, as I wanted to upgrade from the factory plastic one.


I had the optional sight glass installed as well as the coolant level sensor boss.

The factory plastic captive nut is not the same thread as the sensor boss on the aluminum tank.

Has anyone ran across this issue and if so where can I get the correct threaded nut?
